Sun Garden launches German investment project in SCZONE’s Qantara West

Walid Gamal El-Din, Chairman of the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE), signed this morning at the Authority's headquarters in the New Administrative Capital a contract with Sun Garden, a leading German company specializing in the manufacture of garden furniture, umbrellas, home furnishings, and mattresses.

The project will be established on a 30,000-square-meter plot in the Qantara West Industrial Zone, with a total investment of about USD 7 million (around EGP 340 million). It is expected to create 500 direct jobs, with 90% of production aimed at export markets. The contract was signed on behalf of the company by Ewald Franz Küsters, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

SCZONE Chairman Gamal El-Din welcomed Sun Garden as the first German industrial investment in Qantara West. He stressed that the project reflects growing investor confidence in the zone’s business climate and represents a qualitative addition that supports industrial localization and boosts local value creation. He noted that the facility will complement the existing textile and furniture industries in Qantara West, forming part of an integrated ecosystem of spinning, weaving, and ready-made garment projects, and contributing to building a competitive industrial base at regional and international levels.

He added that with this project, the total number of active projects in Qantara West has reached 37 across various sectors, covering about 2.36 million square meters, with total investments exceeding USD 1 billion and providing more than 52,700 direct jobs. He reaffirmed ongoing efforts to attract further global investments, particularly in industrial sectors that strengthen Egypt’s competitiveness and support sustainable development.

This project also marks the first German investment in Qantara West Industrial Zone, joining a portfolio of German projects within the SCZONE, including Siemens Energy, which focuses on vocational training and power plant maintenance; Villeroy & Boch Egypt, producing porcelain and ceramic sanitary ware; MAN Energy Solutions, providing repair services for combustion engines, turbines, and compressors; and Mercedes-Benz’s logistics hub in Sokhna, which supports vehicle transport, distribution, and storage linked to Sokhna Port.
