Qantara West launches textile, garment projects worth $20.5 million

Waleid Gamal El-Din, Chairman of the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE), and Engineer Ahmed Essam El-Din, Deputy Governor of Ismailia, laid the foundation stone on Tuesday for two new projects in the Qantara West Industrial Zone, affiliated with the Authority. The projects, in the textile and ready-made garment sector, represent total investments of $20.5 million and will provide 4,600 direct job opportunities across a combined area of 68,000 square meters.

The ceremony was attended by Wu Jinping, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Top New Group; Liu Kunyuan, General Manager of Top New Garment Company; and Liao Hanwen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Top Credit Textile Company.

The first project, implemented by China’s Top New Garment Group, focuses on manufacturing ready-made garments and sportswear in Qantara West Industrial Zone, with total investments of $7.2 million. The fully integrated factory, covering 28,000 square meters, will create 4,000 direct jobs and produce more than 25 million garments annually, entirely for export. Production is scheduled to begin in July 2026.

The second project, launched by Top Credit Textile, involves the establishment of a fabric and textile manufacturing facility with investments amounting to $13.3 million. It will cover 40,000 square meters, create 600 direct jobs, and achieve an annual production capacity exceeding 28,000 tons, with 80% of its output exported.

Waleid Gamal El-Din expressed appreciation to the Authority’s partners, companies, and investors for their role in turning the development of Qantara West Industrial Zone into a reality. The first phase of the zone’s development has so far attracted 44 projects, either under contract or under construction, with total investments of $1.17 billion.

These projects span an area of 2.79 million square meters and provide over 60,000 direct job opportunities, achieved within just two years of launching development efforts in Qantara West.

The SCZONE Chairman noted that this progress reflects the Authority’s efforts to promote the zone and attract investors, positioning it as a promising destination for the entire value chain of the textile and clothing industry, as well as food and agricultural manufacturing.

Waleid Gamal El-Din highlighted the zone’s strategic location, availability of skilled labor, and integration with seaports, giving it a competitive edge as a gateway to regional and global markets. He also revealed upcoming project openings in Qantara West, reaffirming the Authority’s commitment to continuing development to meet growing investor demand driven by the success of earlier investments.

He added that SCZONE continues to enhance infrastructure readiness and provide comprehensive facilities, including logistics services and streamlined licensing procedures, to create a fully integrated investment environment. These efforts, he noted, further consolidate the region’s position as a global hub for industry and logistics, supported by a diverse system of economic incentives.
