Two Chinese-backed firms to set up textile-garment units in Egypt

The projects will cover 68,000 square metre and generate 4,600 direct jobs.

Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) chairman Waleid Gamal El-Dein and Ismailia province deputy governor Ahmed Essam El-Din laid the foundation stones.

Foundation stones were recently laid for two projects in Egypt’s West Qantara Industrial Zone by two Chinese-backed Firms.
Hui Zhou Top New Garment will set up an export unit for RMG and sportswear, with production likely to begin in July 2026.
Changzhou Top Credit’s project will manufacture fabrics and textiles, with an expected annual output of over 28,000 tonnes, 80 per cent of which will be exported.

Hui Zhou Top New Garment will set up an integrated, export-oriented factory for readymade and sportswear apparel, with production expected to begin in July 2026. The 28,000-square metre facility valued at $7.2 million will employ 4,000 workers and produce more than 25 million pieces annually, domestic media outlets reported.

With an investment of $13.3 million, Changzhou Top Credit’s project will manufacture fabrics and textiles on a 40,000-sq m site, with an expected annual output exceeding 28,000 tonnes, 80 per cent of which will be exported. The factory will employ 600.
