About Anrim
Built on experience.
Driven by what’s next.
We’re a full-spectrum digital agency founded in 1990 — with the perspective that comes from living through every major technology shift of the last three and a half decades, and the ambition to lead the next one.
The Story
35 years of decisions that shaped a company.
Anrim wasn’t founded with a grand strategy — it was founded with a bet. In 1990, Hani Barghouty opened a computer store in Portland, Oregon, when personal computing was still a novelty for most businesses. That bet paid off.
What followed was a deliberate evolution through every major technology wave: from hardware to software, from local retail to international media, from broadcast television to the open internet, and now from digital services to artificial intelligence.
We didn’t pivot because it was trendy. We moved because we saw what was coming — and because our clients needed a partner who could keep up.
Portland, Oregon — The Beginning
Hani Barghouty founds the seed for Anrim in Portland, OR, selling personal computers and hardware at a time when most small businesses had never owned one. Early clients get their first taste of digital infrastructure.
Hardware, Wholesale & Retail Growth
Through the decade, Anrim expands into hardware wholesale and retail distribution — building relationships with manufacturers and suppliers that would underpin the business for years.
Cairo, Egypt — Regional Headquarters
Anrim opens its regional headquarters in Cairo, Egypt, establishing a base for the Arab world. The move marks the start of Anrim’s international chapter — technology services for clients across North Africa and the Middle East.
Satellite TV — Media Services Era
Anrim launches and manages satellite TV stations for regional clients across the MENA region. At its peak between 2006 and 2013, the media division handles channel setup, broadcast management, and content infrastructure for multiple networks.
Full Digital Pivot
As the media landscape shifts online, Anrim refocuses entirely on digital services — applying the same systems thinking from broadcast operations to web development, mobile applications, and digital marketing. Websites and branding for clients built throughout the media era are now the core business.
AI, Automation & Three Continents
Today Anrim operates from Florence (SC), Cairo, and Sunyani (Ghana) — delivering web, mobile, marketing, branding, media, and AI automation to a growing roster of clients across North America, Africa, and the Middle East. 1,000+ clients served. Still building.
How We Work
What you can expect
from every engagement.
Straight talk
We tell you what we think, not what you want to hear. If something won’t work, we say so before the contract — not after the invoice.
One team, full ownership
No outsourcing without disclosure. The team you meet is the team that builds. We own the outcome end to end.
Experience, not promises
35 years means we’ve seen most problems before. We bring that pattern recognition to every project, so you’re not paying for us to learn on the job.
Built to last
We build things that work three years from now, not just at launch. Clean code, scalable architecture, maintainable systems — it costs more to do right, and less to run long-term.
Founder & CEO
Hani Barghouty
Visionary. Builder. Three and a half decades in the making.
In 1990, Hani Barghouty opened a small computer store in Portland, Oregon — at a time when most small businesses had never owned a personal computer. That early bet on digital infrastructure became the foundation for what would grow into a multi-continental technology and media company.
Under Hani’s leadership, Anrim evolved through every major technology wave: from hardware retail to wholesale distribution, from local operations to international expansion with the opening of the Cairo regional headquarters in 2002, from satellite television broadcasting (2006–2013) to full digital services, and now into AI-powered automation and intelligent systems.
What defines Hani’s approach isn’t just technical foresight — it’s a commitment to moving before the market demands it. Anrim didn’t pivot to digital because it was trendy; the company moved because Hani saw what was coming and understood that clients needed a partner who could keep up.
Today, with offices in the USA, Egypt, and Ghana, and over 1,000 clients served across three continents, Hani continues to lead Anrim with the same principles that guided the company from day one: straight talk, full ownership, and building systems that last.
“We don’t build for launch day. We build for what comes next — because after 35 years, I’ve learned that what’s next is the only thing that matters.”
