Corona, a privately owned company headquartered in Egypt, functions as an Egyptian confectionery manufacturer and specializes in Food and Beverage Services. Founded in 1919, the company employs approximately 1,150 individuals. Originally established in Ismailia before relocating to Alexandria, the company was nationalized by presidential decree in 1963. During nationalization, it merged with Nadler Confectionery and Al Hawamdiya Factory to establish the Alexandria Chocolate and Confectionery Co. Corona operated under state ownership until 2000, when the Sami Saad Group acquired it as part of Egypt's economic reform and privatization program.
