New Administrative Capital, Egypt – The Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) has announced a new milestone in its industrial development drive with the signing of a $22.6 million contract to establish the Changzhou RAMADA textile manufacturing facility in the West Qantara Industrial Zone.
The agreement was signed by Mr. Waleid Gamal El-Dien, Chairman of SCZONE, and Mr. Fan Yun, Chairman of Changzhou RAMADA, at SCZONE’s headquarters. The project will occupy an 80,000 m² site and is expected to create 1,500 direct jobs. Once operational, the factory will produce 5,000 tons of fabrics, 4 million sets of bed linen, and 1 million sets of car carpets annually.
A Strategic Hub for Textile Exports
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Mr. Gamal El-Dien highlighted SCZONE’s vision for West Qantara as a fully integrated hub for textiles, ready-made garments, and accessories.
“So far, we have successfully signed 32 contracts for projects in West Qantara, with total investments exceeding $822.2 million over an area of more than 2 million square meters. These projects are expected to create 45,600 direct jobs,” he said.
He emphasized that most of the projects in West Qantara aim to export the majority of their production, leveraging SCZONE’s strategic position as a global trade link. The integrated infrastructure connecting industrial zones with seaports enables manufacturers to reach key international markets efficiently.
Supporting Egypt’s Industrial Vision
The SCZONE chairman reaffirmed the authority’s commitment to attracting high-value investments in line with Egypt’s industrial and export growth strategy.
“We are nearing the opening of several new factories and infrastructure projects in West Qantara. Our competitive incentives, skilled workforce, and the stability of Egypt’s political and economic environment continue to make SCZONE a preferred investment destination,” he added.
