Egypt’s Factory 360 and Japan’s MIZUHA sign a joint manufacturing agreement

CAIRO - 18 May 2023: Mohamed Salaheldin Mostafa, State Minister for Military Production, attended the signing ceremony between Helwan Company for Metallic Appliances (Factory 360) and Japan's MIZUHA Company to manufacture a prototype of KuSui. This is a device that generates water from the air using technology developed by the Japanese firm.

Mostafa said that the agreement falls within the framework of the cooperation protocol that was signed between the Military Production Ministry and MIZUHA to test and develop the water-producing device from air "KUSui" in the military production facilities.

He added that the device went through several tests in Egypt to ensure that it will be suitable for hot weather, particularly in North African countries.

The water produced from the device has obtained the approval of the Health and Population Ministry, the minister stated.

Earlier this month, Japan announced that it will finance the third tranche of the first phase of Line 4 of the Greater Cairo Metro, with a total investment value of 100 billion Japanese yen.
