The General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) has announced the signing of a new investment contract with Chinese apparel manufacturer ShuanFeng to establish a ready-made garments facility in the Qantara West Industrial Zone.
The agreement was signed by Mr. Waleid Gamal El-Dien, Chairman of SCZONE, and Mr. Yu Jin Xue, owner of ShuanFeng. The project covers an area of 20,000 square meters, with a total investment value of USD 8 million (approximately EGP 388 million), fully self-financed by the company. The factory is expected to generate around 2,000 direct jobs and deliver an annual production capacity of 16.5 million pieces, with 100% of output dedicated to export markets.
“This new investment by ShuanFeng reflects the growing trust of international investors in SCZONE as a distinctive investment destination that now embraces projects from six countries. The project complements the existing textile and garment ecosystem in Qantara West, which continues to expand, enhancing industrial integration and building a competitive base to serve both regional and global markets,” said Mr. Waleid Gamal El-Dien.
With the signing of this contract, Qantara West Industrial Zone now hosts 38 projects spanning a combined area of 2,382,400 square meters, with cumulative investments reaching USD 1.008 billion and providing more than 54,705 direct job opportunities. Mr. Gamal El-Dien emphasized that this milestone underlines Qantara West’s emergence as a regional hub for textiles and garments, leveraging the skills of Egyptian labor and SCZONE’s competitive incentives.
ShuanFeng, a leading Chinese company in the ready-made garments industry, brings extensive experience in global exports. Its decision to invest in Egypt reflects the strategic advantages offered by SCZONE, including access to key markets across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East through the zone’s prime location and advanced logistics infrastructure.
