The company recently successfully exported the largest shipment of washed salt in its history from the Sebika Saltworks in North Sinai. The shipment, totaling approximately 47,000 tons, set sail via Al-Arish Port destined for the United States market.
The operational success is mirrored in the company's balance
sheet. El Nasr Salines reported a staggering 92% growth in profits, reaching 138
million EGP for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
"This success reflects our vision to transform
state-owned subsidiaries into powerful economic entities capable of competing
globally through continuous modernization and adherence to international
standards," stated Engineer Mohamed Shimi, Minister of Public Business
Sector.
Located on the Mediterranean coast in Arish, the Sebika
Saltworks spans 26 square kilometers and has become the company's most
strategic asset.
Operational highlights: Production Capacity: Produced 1
million tons of raw salt last year, with a target of 1.3 million tons within
two years; Sales Contribution: Sebika’s contribution to total company sales
jumped from 30.5% in June 2023 to over 55% by December 2025; and Advanced
Facilities: Includes a high-tech Spanish factory (15 tons/hour) and three
washing units with a combined capacity of 450 tons per hour.
The salt produced at Sebika is regarded as some of the
highest-quality sea salt in the Mediterranean basin due to its extreme purity.
This has allowed the company to secure contracts across North America (de-icing
and industrial salts), Europe and Africa (industrial and food-grade salts), and
the Arab Region (refined table salt).
The company plays a vital role in the development of the
Sinai Peninsula:
Direct Employment: 1,150 total employees, with 290
specialized workers from the Sinai community at the Sebika site.
Indirect Employment: Support for approximately 1,000 additional jobs in logistics, transport, and industrial services for local residents.
