Summary

  • $67 million will fund the Jieya-Jia Egypt complex in Ain Sokhna, where SCZone officials marked the foundation stone for a Chinese-backed health products plant.
  • The project will occupy about 160,000 square meters in TEDA Egypt’s 2.86-square-kilometre expansion area, start production within two years and target annual output of 8.1 billion single-use hygiene products.
  • SCZone said the complex will create 450 direct jobs while supporting its push to attract investment, localize industry, transfer technology and link supply chains in priority sectors.
  • Sheikhon framed the investment as part of Egypt-China ties marking their 70th anniversary, with SCZone pitching its ports, trade access to 3.5 billion consumers and investor incentives as a hedge against geopolitical disruption.
