Project Description

The proposed project, located in the 10th of Ramadan Industrial City, outside Cairo, involves the construction of a modern green-field turn-key facility for the production of vitreous china ceramic sanitary ware. The annual capacity is 500,000 pieces. The project company, Gava Sanitary Ware (Gava) will be sponsored and owned jointly by Ceramica Al-Amir and its shareholders. Ceramica Al-Amir, ranks third amongst ceramic tile producers in Egypt (and fourth in the Middle East Region) in terms of capacity and sales revenues. Having started production in March 1996, its tile production is sold predominantly in the local Egyptian market, with some exports to neighboring countries.
