مصنع الشرق للاسطوانات

مصنع الشرق للاسطوانات (Masna' al-Sharq li al-Ustawanat / The Orient Records Factory) was a record factory located in Cairo established in 1957. It was a 50-50 percent partnership between Mohamed Fawzy (محمد فوزي) and Saudi-Arabian Hasan Surour al-Sabban. On June 30, 1959, Philips Orient bought out Fawzy's partner al-Sabban's shares in the company. The factory was upgraded to latest international standards with technical advisors and equipment from Philips and on October 26, 1959 the company's official name was changed to مصنع الشرق للاسطوانات - مصرفون (Masna' al-Sharq li al-Ustawanat - Misrphon / The Orient Record Factory - Misrphon). From that date on Misrphon releases also carry a Philips logo.
