Hayat Egypt lays foundation stone for $44mln hygiene facility in SCZONE

Hayat Egypt Hygienic Products, a subsidiary of Turkish FMCG leader Hayat, laid the foundation stone for its newest hygiene production facility in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE), according to a statement.

Located in Ain El Sokhna, the new factory is expected to employ over 400 Egyptian workers upon operating by March 2026. The project’s total investments stand at $44 million (EGP 2.2 billion).

It will produce baby diapers and feminine hygiene products, with 75% of its production allocated for export. Meanwhile, the remaining 25% will be dedicated to the local market.

The factory will boost Hayat Egypt’s hygiene production capacity by 55% upon completion.

This expansion aligns with Hayat’s objectives to support Egypt’s industrial development and contribute to reinforcing the country’s position as an export hub to meet both local and global market needs.

Senol Keserliogu, General Manager of Hayat Egypt, said: “Egypt continues to be a strategic hub for Hayat’s operations, and today’s milestone reflects our promise to expand our footprint to meet both local and global demand.”
