Turkey's Hayat Kimya Launches $44M Hygiene Product Factory in Egypt’s Suez Zone

Turkish multinational Hayat Kimya has laid the foundation stone for a new hygiene product factory in Ain Sokhna, located within the Suez Canal Economic Zone. The project represents a $44 million investment and is expected to create 400 direct jobs.

The factory will produce a range of hygiene products, with 75% of its output designated for export to African markets, and the remaining 25% allocated for the Egyptian domestic market.

Officials praised the collaborative support from local authorities, with special thanks extended to the Governor of Suez and the Chairman of the General Authority of the Suez Canal Economic Zone for their roles in facilitating the project and participating in the groundbreaking ceremony.

The company’s Egypt General Manager, Şenol Keserlioğlu, along with the factory leadership, engineers, and workers, were congratulated for their hard work and commitment to expanding Hayat Kimya’s presence in the region.

This investment is part of Hayat Kimya’s broader strategy to strengthen its industrial footprint in Africa and the Middle East, while contributing to local employment and export-led growth in Egypt.
