France’s Saint Gobain opens new eco-friendly production line in Egypt’s SCZone at 8 m euros
The French company Saint Gobain opened a new eco-friendly production line of its mirrors factory in Egypt’s Ain Sokhna area at 8 million euros within the framework of the company’s expansion plans in the Middle East and Africa.
The deputy head of Egypt’s southern Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) Mohamed Shaaban said the French company has realized great success in the SCZone, underlining the zone’s support for investors who are partners in the development drive.
He noted that the factory’s production capacity is estimated at 6 million square kilometers with 50 percent of this output to be exported, a matter which will positively affect the SCZone.
Saint Gobain Glass Egypt Board Chairman Ahmed Tawfiq said the company has the largest glass production line in the Middle East and Africa, noting that the new mirror production line depends on environment-friendly top-notch technology, thus promoting the company’s march of success.
He added that the SCZone offered all needed facilities and investment incentives for the company to open this new production line.
With a 900-ton daily capacity of high quality glass, Saint-Gobain Glass Egypt is the largest and most modern float facility in the Middle East.
Production includes clear glass (SGG PLANILUX®), tinted glass (SGG PARSOL®) and online coated glass (SGG REFLECTASOL®) with solar control properties and appealing reflective aesthetics.
Ideally situated, the facility – at 140 million euro investments – supplies both the Egyptian and export markets.
The Saint-Gobain Glass Egypt facility combines some of the most modern technology, the most advanced measurement tools and instruments as well as the know-how and expertise of the Saint-Gobain Glass international network of affiliates.
The hundred years’ history of Saint-Gobain Glass as a glass manufacturer started in 1665, by the will of a king.
Louis XIV, king of France, founded the glass company and placed the first order for the famous Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, close to Paris.
Since then, Saint-Gobain Glass has continuously improved its manufacturing processes and enhanced its expertise to provide the best to its customers, extending its knowledge and knowhow over time.
Nowadays, Saint-Gobain Glass is a worldwide reference and one of the global leaders in flat glass for the building and automotive sectors.
