Abou El Enein: Cleopatra Group Transformed Desert into Industrial Hub
Taarek Refaat Mohamed Abou El Enein, Deputy Speaker of Egypt's House of Representatives and Chairman of Cleopatra Group highlighted the group's pioneering journey in transforming the Egyptian desert into a hub of industrial development, during a speech at the Sixth Qingdao Multinationals Summit in China. His remarks were featured in a televised segment aired by Ahmed Moussa on his program on Egypt's Sada El-Balad channel. 'In the heart of the desert, we began building the first industrial city specializing in construction materials,' Abou El Enein said. 'We have a story of transforming the desert, not just with buildings, but with vision, resilience, and Egyptian innovation.' Founded over 45 years ago, Cleopatra Group has grown into one of the largest private industrial and investment entities in Egypt and the Middle East, with core operations in ceramics, porcelain, building materials; an export-driven manufacturing. Abou El Enein emphasized that Cleopatra Group's success serves as a case study in localized industrialization, noting that it became the first Egyptian company to lead the ceramics and construction materials sector. 'What started as an idea in the middle of the desert is now a thriving industrial empire contributing to Egypt's economy and exports,' he said.
