Gamal El-Dien: We endure working to meet the infrastructure needs of Qantara West, aligning with growing investor interest
Following his attendance at the groundbreaking ceremony for two projects that mark the launch of investments in the “Technology Valley” Industrial Zone, Mr. Waleid Gamal El-Dien, Chairman of the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE), conducted an inspection tour of the Qantara West industrial zone. The purpose of the tour was to assess the progress of infrastructure and utility projects being prepared to international specifications to meet investor needs. In addition, he followed up on the construction progress of several factories, particularly in the textile and ready-made garments sectors, in preparation for their anticipated openings. He was accompanied on the tour by several executive leaders from SCZONE.
Regarding infrastructure and utility projects, SCZONE Chairman inspected the main water station in the Qantara West zone, as well as its water intake. The first phase of the station has been fully completed with a capacity of 17,500 mĀ³/day to serve the ongoing projects in the zone. The second phase will have the same production capacity, bringing the station’s total capacity to 35,000 mĀ³/day. SCZONE Chairman also reviewed the progress of the Qantara wastewater treatment plant, which will have a total production capacity of 60,000 mĀ³/day across its two phases (30,000 mĀ³/day each), in addition to inspecting the Qantara gas pressure reduction station with a capacity of 40,000 mĀ³/hour.
Furthermore, Mr. Waleid Gamal El-Dien inspected the construction work of some factories being established in the Qantara West zone, particularly in the textile and ready-made garments sector. This sector has so far attracted investments for 31 projects, following the signing of 6 new projects during a successful promotional tour in China. After the tour, the SCZONE Chairman stated, “Work is progressing at full speed in the Qantara West industrial zone to accelerate the completion rates for infrastructure, utilities, and internal road projects. We must exert more effort to meet the growing demand for investment in Qantara West, which SCZONE is preparing to become a global hub for the textile and ready-made garments industry, where total investments have reached $799.6 million. SCZONE represents the definitive solution for investors to enhance the integration of global supply chains, especially in light of the economic and political stability and the distinguished international relations that Egypt enjoys, major investments in infrastructure and utilities, in addition to the distinct investment incentives, both financial and non-financial, offered by SCZONE to its investors, chief among them being full access to global markets.”
