The Egyptian government has officially sanctioned the construction of a major manufacturing facility in Sadat City, located within the Monufia Governorate. This New Egypt textile factory will occupy a 31,535-square-metre Sadat City industrial site, with commercial operations slated to commence in May 2027. This initiative is designed to support the textile and apparel sector, increasing industrial capacity for the region.
Strategic Export and Employment Goals
The project is expected to generate approximately 3,500 employment opportunities for the local workforce. A key requirement of the development is the utilization of at least 50 per cent local production inputs, ensuring that the domestic supply chain benefits from the investment. The facility is designed for export-oriented production, with 100 per cent of its output destined for the European Union and the United States markets. The use of local production inputs remains a central component of the operational strategy.
Additional Cabinet Decisions
The Egyptian cabinet approval for this project was granted during a session led by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly. This move aligns with broader efforts to support the textile and apparel sector by focusing on export-oriented production for international trade. During the same meeting, the cabinet authorized the allocation of 55.47 feddans of state-owned land in Ain Sokhna, Suez Governorate, for various development projects. Additionally, officials approved a contract aimed at upgrading the B2C electronic receipt system for the Egyptian Tax Authority. These measures, alongside the Egyptian cabinet approval for the Sadat City industrial site development, reflect the government’s current administrative priorities for the New Egypt textile factory and the broader Egypt textile factory landscape.
