CAIRO - 28 April 2026: UAE-based Alpha Smart has signed a contract to develop an integrated industrial complex for ready-made factories in the Sokhna Industrial Zone, with total investments estimated at around $100 million, equivalent to nearly LE5 billion.
According to a statement issued Tuesday by the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE), the project is expected to attract more than $150 million in additional industrial investments.
The complex will be built over a total area of 500,000 square meters and implemented in two phases, each covering 250,000 square meters.
The project is designed to offer a comprehensive ready-made factory model based on an integrated industrial ecosystem, allowing companies to start operations and production in less than 90 days.
This model will include fully equipped industrial units, supported by an integrated logistics zone featuring warehouses and a global distribution center.
The development will also include administrative and commercial facilities, including business hubs, co-working spaces, and a digital administrative center, as well as a services and leisure zone featuring a business hotel, an international restaurant complex, a business club, and fitness facilities.
SCZONE Chairman Walid Gamal El-Din said the Sokhna Industrial Zone has become an attractive industrial and logistics hub for investors, supported by its integration with Sokhna Port and its strategic location on global trade routes.
He added that the zone’s position supports Egypt’s efforts to localize industry, increase exports, and benefit from global supply chains.
The project aims to attract a wide range of sectors, including engineering industries, light electronics, food and agro-processing, packaging, light chemicals, automotive and home appliance components, as well as e-commerce and logistics activities.
This industrial diversity is expected to help expand the manufacturing base and strengthen supply chain integration.
The project will be implemented over two phases within a maximum period of six years. The first phase will include infrastructure and utility works with an electrical capacity of 25 megawatts, along with the construction of 50% of the industrial units, while actual operations are expected to begin in the second year.
The second phase will focus on expanding logistics and service facilities and completing the remaining components of the project to reach full operational capacity.
The project will also provide flexible contracting models, including long-term and short-term leasing, financial leasing, and commission-based management.
