Elevating electrical standards in Egypt and beyond
Aerospace engineer Mohamed Ali’s young daughter’s life - threatening electrical shock due to a loose wire ignited his passion to invent safer electrical systems. With a modest $30,000, Mohamed founded iLock (formerly Powerlock) . iLock now offers a range of electrical accessories, including power cords, adaptors, and chargers, designed to safeguard people and machines from electrical hazards. Since 2018, iLock has secured patents for its electrical safety technology in 30 countries and has manufactured over 10 million units at its Egyptian factory. These products are available in 10 countries and have achieved the status of the best-selling electrical brand on Amazon France. iLock is pursuing ambitious expansion plans within Africa.
