Tabet was not to be contained in Africa. The 1980’s saw the birth of Tabet Group of Companies beginning with the creation of the Belgium based general contracting company ILPA, in which Tabet is a major shareholder. This facilitated the diversification of Tabet Group into the construction of “turnkey “and special design projects. ILPA as part of Tabet Group carved in niche for itself in the hospital sector and won bids to design, build and finance hospitals in the Middle East.

The key to the success of the Group has been careful planning and forward thinking.
