Schneider and Rothacker were based in Alexandria and Cairo, Egypt. They are mentioned in the Commonwealth Gazette of 22 June 1916 within a statement published by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs which lists them together with other "firms in Egypt with enemy interests, which have been licensed by the Egyptian Government to carry on business for the purpose of liquidation only".
