Egypt to Build World's Largest Spinning, Weaving Factory

Minister of Public Business Sector Hisham Tawfik announced that the construction of the largest spinning and weaving factory in the world in Mahalla el-Kubra, on an area of ​​approximately 62.5 thousand square meters, will be completed and operational by March 2022.

This came during a meeting held by Mustafa Madbouly, Prime Minister to follow up the development plan of the spinning and weaving industry, encouraging cotton cultivation.

Tawfik said that this factory will contribute to achieving a great leap in the field of spinning and weaving industry, adding that it will accommodate more than 182,000 yarn, with an average production capacity of 30 tons of yarn per day, increasing the added value of cotton instead of exporting it ore abroad.

He emphasized that the establishment of this factory comes within the framework of the state's plan to develop and modernize the textile industry.

He pointed out that a new building was recently opened for experts who will train workers on the modern machines that will be installed in the factory and in the factories that will be developed in Cairo, Kafr El Dawar and the Delta regions.

Tawfik indicated that five experts are expected to train about 130 trainees during the coming period.
