- The USD 190 million project is expected to create 1,500 jobs.
Long March has officially started construction of its new tire manufacturing facility in the industrial zone of Sokhna, according to an announcement made on June 17 by Suez Canal Economic Zone. The project marks another step in expanding industrial activities in Egypt and will focus on producing tires for trucks, buses, and passenger cars. The development is expected to strengthen regional manufacturing capabilities while supporting growing demand across multiple vehicle segments.
The factory will be developed on a site covering 200,000 square meters and involves a total investment of USD 190 million. Once operational, the project is expected to generate approximately 1,500 jobs, contributing to industrial growth and employment opportunities in the region. The facility is being established in phases, with production capacity increasing as development progresses toward full-scale operations.
After both phases are completed, the plant is targeted to achieve an annual production capacity of one million truck and bus radial tires and 4.5 million passenger car radial tires. This production scale positions the facility as a significant tire manufacturing hub, serving commercial and passenger vehicle markets. The investment also highlights continued interest in expanding automotive supply chain capabilities within the Sokhna industrial zone.
