The Prime Minister was accompanied by a high-level ministerial delegation, including the Deputy PM for Industrial Development and the Ministers of Industry, Planning, Electricity, and Investment.
During the tour, Dr. Madbouly emphasized that the SCZONE is
a cornerstone of Egypt’s comprehensive industrial strategy. "The Zone’s
unique geographical position, coupled with advanced infrastructure and modern
ports, allows for the creation of integrated production and logistics chains
that serve both domestic and global markets," the Prime Minister stated.
He added that the continuous expansion of projects reflects investor confidence
in Egypt’s business environment and the government’s success in deepening local
manufacturing.
Waleed Gamal El-Din, Chairman of the SCZONE, highlighted
that today’s inaugurations represent a diverse portfolio of strategic sectors.
The new projects, with total investments exceeding $190 million, are expected
to generate approximately 2,700 jobs.
The newly inaugurated projects span several key sectors such
as:
Engineering & Electronics: Precision engineering and
home appliances;
Renewable Energy: Manufacturing of components for new and
renewable energy;
Consumer Goods: Food processing, textiles, ready-made garments,
and advanced plastics; and
Logistics: New logistics centers designed to enhance supply
chain efficiency and boost exports.
Gamal El-Din noted that the SCZONE is moving steadily toward
localizing value-added industries and facilitating technology transfer. By
linking local production with regional and international markets, the zone aims
to reduce reliance on imports and improve the competitiveness of "Made in
Egypt" products.
The inaugurations today further solidify the SCZONE's position as an integrated regional hub, leveraging the synergy between its industrial zones and affiliated ports to support the national economy.
