Egypt: Dr. Greiche Group invests $9mln in automotive glass facility in 10th of Ramadan
Spanning 25,000 square meters, the new facility will be added to the group's existing operations and is expected to begin production in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2026.
The plant aims to become the most advanced of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa and to serve growing demand from Original Equipment Manufacturers across local, regional, and international markets.
Equipped with state-of-the-art smart technologies from Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and China, the facility will process ultra-thin automotive glass—down to 2.1 mm thick—catering to rising demand from electric vehicle manufacturers.
The plant will also introduce digital printing capabilities for OEM clients and thermal technologies previously unavailable in the region.
The investment will generate over 500 direct jobs and approximately 150 indirect ones, supporting both the local community and Egypt's broader industrial development plans.
Dr. Greiche Group plans to produce complex glass components never before manufactured in the region, including thermal roofs and solar rear panels.
These products aim to support global shifts toward green mobility and energy-efficient solutions.

The company's management commented: 'The group delivered a strong operating performance in 1H-2025 as we continued to demonstrate the strength of our business model and the appeal of our value proposition.' 'Supported by an improving operating environment, our financing division maintained its momentum and achieved solid growth in new lending extended during the period,' it added. The group attributed the strong performance to the consumer finance segment, which is the main driver behind new lending growth, with a 46% YoY expansion in new lending fueled by increased customer acquisition during the period. The commented highlighted: 'Similarly, new financing extended at the trucks, mortgage, working capital segments grew by 2%, 27%, and 10%, respectively, y-o-y on the back of an improved economic environment underpinned by lower interest rates and greater price stability.' 'Meanwhile, new lending at our Auto segment remained largely flat year-on-year as customers continued to delay purchasing decisions in anticipation of further interest rate cuts later in the year,' it noted. © 2025 All Rights Reserved Arab Finance For Information Technology Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
