The planned facility will cover 30,000 square meters with
investments of USD 10 million. It is expected to create around 160 direct jobs,
with 70 percent of production earmarked for export, in addition to meeting the
needs of the textile and garment factories currently under construction in
Qantara. The project is considered a major addition to the integrated textile
and apparel industrial clusters in the zone.
The contract was signed by Weiguo Wang, Chairman of Haiyan
Ximei, in the presence of senior executives from both sides.
On the sidelines of the ceremony, Gamal El-Din said SCZONE
is pressing ahead with efforts to localize and deepen industry by attracting
complementary sectors such as accessories, packaging, printing, dyeing, and
finishing. These integrated clusters for textiles and apparel in Qantara West
will help reduce production costs by relying on locally produced raw and
intermediate materials and logistics services instead of imports. He stressed
that these measures are aligned with Egypt’s National Development Narrative,
launched by the government to provide a comprehensive framework for advancing
economic reform, supporting structural transformation, and strengthening tradable
and export-oriented sectors. He added that SCZONE is also working to boost
partnerships with the private sector to attract investment in strategic
industries.
He further noted that the growing demand for investment in
Qantara West reflects SCZONE’s investor-friendly policies, including
integration between seaports and industrial zones that provides full access to
global markets, as well as the availability of trained technical labor and
competitively priced energy. To date, 40 projects have been contracted in the
Qantara West Industrial Zone across various industrial and logistics sectors,
primarily textiles, ready-made garments, and related industries. Collectively,
these projects occupy 2.47 million square meters with investments totaling
about USD 1.053 billion, creating more than 55,860 direct jobs.
