Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly has officially opened multiple industrial developments in New Borg El Arab City, Alexandria, featuring a significant textile production facility and expanded garment manufacturing operations as the country works to boost exports, draw foreign investment, and create more industrial jobs.
The centerpiece of the new developments is the Jade Textile facility, run by Turkey’s Yesim Group. Company representatives stated that investment in the manufacturing plant is nearing EGP 500 million.
Once operating at maximum capacity, the facility is anticipated to play a major role in Egypt’s clothing exports, with yearly export income estimated between $250 million and $500 million.
Spanning roughly 60,000 square meters, the plant was built as a comprehensive garment production center. The facility handles fabric cutting, embroidery, sewing, and finishing processes, all supported by state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment.
The development has generated substantial employment opportunities. Over 6,000 positions have been established at the Alexandria location, while Yesim Group’s nationwide Egyptian operations provide work for more than 15,000 individuals. Beyond this new location, the company operates production sites in 10th Ramadan City and Ismailia.
Madbouly additionally opened an expanded section of the Şahinler Egypt 2 ready-made clothing project. This new expansion features dedicated cutting and finishing production lines designed to facilitate exports worth $55 million.
During his visit, the prime minister also launched the initial phase of the El-Gharably Industrial Complex, another major manufacturing development in New Borg El Arab City.
Government representatives reported that the complex covers 315,000 square meters and maintains yearly production capability surpassing 100,000 tons. The operation currently provides employment for roughly 3,000 workers, with expansion plans targeting 5,000 employees.
The industrial complex houses a steel construction facility, an engine repair and maintenance operation characterized as Egypt’s largest, and a dedicated plant manufacturing industrial and medical gases.
Under the leadership of Moataz El-Gharably, the project is exploring collaborative opportunities in railway wagon production, agricultural machinery, and pipe manufacturing.
These new industrial facilities represent part of wider initiatives to strengthen Egypt’s manufacturing and logistics infrastructure through comprehensive production systems aimed at supporting industrial growth and export expansion.
