Chinese garment factory opens in Qantara West with $7M investment

The Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) today, Tuesday, saw the signing of a new agreement for Shaoxing BEIQI Textile Co., Ltd. to establish a ready-made garment factory in the Qantara West Industrial Zone. SCZONE Chairman Walid Gamal El-Din presided over the signing.

The factory, spanning 16,000 square meters and representing a $7 million self-financed investment, is projected to create 3,000 direct jobs. It aims to produce over 10 million pieces annually, with 90% designated for export and 10% for the local market. The agreement was signed by Major General Mohamed Ahmed, SCZONE Vice Chairman for the Northern Region, and Ms. Ju Xueying, legal representative and owner of Shaoxing BEIQI Textile Co., Ltd.

Gamal El-Din emphasized Qantara West's success in attracting export-oriented industries, particularly ready-made garments. He highlighted the zone's rapid performance as a testament to its readiness for further investments and the effectiveness of SCZONE's development plans to achieve local added value and leverage its strategic location. He noted that diverse projects in Qantara West, especially in textiles and garments, contribute to building a specialized and integrated industrial base, supporting supply chains and fostering sustainable growth. This strengthens Qantara West's potential to become a leading regional hub for textile and ready-made garment industries in the Middle East and Africa.

This new contract brings the total number of projects in the Qantara West Industrial Zone to 21, with combined investments of approximately $603.5 million and over 30,600 direct job opportunities. This reflects growing investor confidence in the SCZONE's business environment. Gamal El-Din added that Qantara West's unique location, connected to the SCZONE's port network and integrated logistics hubs, provides a high competitive advantage, making it a preferred destination for labor-intensive industries. This also aligns with SCZONE's strategic direction to boost exports, reduce imports, and increase the industrial sector's contribution to GDP.

Shaoxing BEIQI Textile Co., Ltd., established in 2008 and headquartered in Shaoxing, China, is a major fabric producer. The company integrates research and development, production, trade, and distribution, with a comprehensive supply chain covering design, manufacturing, packaging, and export.
