Egypt, China ink $1bn agreement for Sailun tire plant in SCZONE



Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Wednesday witnessed the signing of an agreement between China’s Sailun Group and TEDA Egypt to establish a major tire manufacturing plant in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE). The ceremony, held at the government headquarters in the New Administrative Capital, was attended by Kamel Al-Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport, and Walid Gamal El-Din, Chairperson of SCZONE.

The first phase—set for completion in 2026—will produce 3 million passenger car tires and 600,000 truck and bus tires annually. Once fully operational, the plant’s total annual capacity is expected to exceed 10 million tires, serving both domestic demand and export markets.

Madbouly said the project reflects Egypt’s commitment to localising the automotive industry and its related supply chains, underscoring the role of public-private partnerships in achieving regional leadership within a short timeframe. He highlighted national infrastructure projects—such as roads, tunnels, and ports—that enhance SCZONE’s readiness to attract foreign direct investment and connect production hubs to global markets.

Gamal El-Din stressed that tire manufacturing is a key pillar of SCZONE’s automotive localisation strategy. He noted that the Authority is working to establish fully integrated industrial clusters, in line with Egypt’s national automotive manufacturing strategy launched from the Integrated East Port Said Zone.

The SCZONE Chairperson also said the project follows a recent promotional tour to China, which included site visits and meetings with leading automotive and component manufacturers—particularly in electric vehicles and batteries. These engagements aimed to exchange knowledge on advanced technologies and assess investment requirements such as energy, utilities, land, and workforce needs.

Sailun Group is among China’s largest tire manufacturers, producing a wide range of products for different vehicle types. The company operates factories in China and Vietnam, with an annual capacity of over 26.6 million TBR (Truck and Bus Radial) tires, 88 million PCR (Passenger Car Radial) tires, and 310,000 tonnes of OTR (Off-The-Road) tires. Its sales and logistics network spans more than 180 countries.

The planned SCZONE facility will serve as a central regional hub, supplying both the Egyptian market and neighbouring markets.

Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris through his account on the "X" platform:

📍 The economy will increase our improvement in #Egypt during the second half, with a growth rate of 4%, which is a very good rate

📍 Flasting decline, and I believe that the central bank will reduce the interest from 1-4%, which enhances investment, stabilizing the exchange rate, and decline #

📍 There is nothing left except for the payment of external debts, which is the only obstacle ... and its solution is easy: that the state should offer the remaining lands on the North Coast and the Red Sea in dollars for Egyptians and foreigners, and privatization of some companies that we are talking about doing so for years

Yeah...Sure...As an Air Force guy, if someone is in control of your airspace, you are screwed.


Israel did not cross into Iranian air space

Iran won the war against Israel

they had Israel begging on day 10 of the war , last 2 days Israel had no air defence zero zilch

Israel was crippled and paralysed and crying for USA to join

Iran can handle Israel but not both USA + Israel at the same that's kind of unfair

another 7 days and there would be no Israel

next time Iran will finish the job, inside 7 days I think

Egypt doesn't need weapons

they need powerful leaders

if Mubarak was in power he would never allowed Israel the Genocide

he had fought Israel once and would do it again

he wasn't a good guy but he held Israel at bay

Israel had practical aerial superiority, almost supremacy. Lets not get deluded. Iran did win on the political front, they deal Israel quite a bloody nose with the missile attacks. But, militarily, Israel always had the upper hand. I imagine the Iranian authorities knew this too, hence why they placed orders for Chinese jets.

Israel can only stand for 1.5 week against Iran. After that, all of its airbases and infrastructure will be non existent. The reason why they could surprise Iranian air dedense neywork, was firstly openness of Iraqi airspace and secondly they had collected and studied the scattered waves of Iranian radars for years using Iraqi airspace. Iraq cannot stop them. However, that only lasted for 22 hours and after that, Iranian radars were prepared again.

Egypt doesn't have an strong missile force. They play in Israeli game field. Israel has latest technology of west in the field of fighter jets. Egypt has what west has allowed minus Chinese and Russian platforms. Maintenance is an other nightmare for Egyptian airforce.

If Israel uses the same tactic that they used aginst Iran, Egypt will lose its airforce in 24 hours.

Solution is coordinating any future attack with Iran. Iran can defuse their air superiority through bombing their airbases.

Egypt shouldn't forget Jordan. When Iran started bombing Israeli airbases, Israeli jets and drones took cover in US airbases in Jordanian territory.

Jordan will betray Arab forces at the right moment like before.

The only solution is for both Egypt and Iran to get a very strong air force and air defence. You simply cannot win a state level war without a strong air force and defence.
They also need to root out all the Israeli assets in their country that will help locate and take out high value Iranian/Egyptian assets.
Also, a reminder that Israel can't be exhausted soon because they have an infinitely supply cheat in the form of the US and Europe.
Iran standing alone against Israel can't deliver a decisive blow to Israel. At best, leave them with a bloody nose and wait for the next run. Any war that will see the end of Israel will require high level coordination among all anti-Israel forces, state and non-state.
And lets be real, Egypt is basically Israel's bitch, especially with the record gas deal they just made. So, I won't be holding my breath.
