Boosting Egypt’s Textile Hub: Shuanfeng’s Suez Canal Factory
The Chinese company “Shuanfeng” has established a ready-made garment factory in the Suez Canal Economic Zone, specifically in the Qantara West Industrial Zone of the Suez Canal Economic Zone. Shuanfeng is a leading Chinese company in the ready-made garment industry and has extensive experience in exporting to global markets. Its products are present in a large number of countries. Its investment in Egypt stems from its desire to benefit from the strategic geographical location of the Suez Canal Economic Zone, which provides it with easy access to African, European, and Middle Eastern markets. Shuanfeng is expected to produce approximately 16.5 million pieces annually for export from Cairo to global and foreign markets. It will also provide approximately 2,000 direct job opportunities. The Chinese factory’s production is entirely dedicated to export, enhancing the Chinese industrial sector’s contribution to supporting Egyptian exports. This Chinese project by the Chinese company “Shuanfeng” is not merely an industrial expansion; rather, it is an indicator of growing international confidence in Egypt’s ability to compete in global markets.
The addition of the Chinese company “Shuanfeng” brings the total number of active projects in the Qantara West Industrial Zone on the Suez Canal to 38 so far, covering a total area of approximately 2.5 million square meters, with total investments amounting to approximately $1 billion, and providing more than 55,000 direct job opportunities for Egyptian youth. To this end, the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone is making efforts to attract more Chinese and international investments, particularly in sectors that support supply chains and meet market needs. Here, the Qantara West Suez Canal Zone has proven its ability to transform into a regional center for the textile and ready-made garment industries, relying on the skills of the Egyptian workforce and the competitive advantages offered by the Suez Canal Economic Zone as an important strategic location.
The Chinese company “Shuanfeng” recently signed a contract with the General Authority of the Suez Canal Economic Zone in Egypt. The factory, which is fully owned by the company and covers an area of 20,000 square meters, will be exclusively dedicated to export production. This Chinese textile factory is expected to contribute to strengthening Egypt’s position as a regional center for the textile industry. The Chinese project reflects international confidence in the Suez Canal Economic Zone and aims to strengthen the Egyptian workforce and support supply chains.
