Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Sunday, September 6, 2026, inaugurated the first phase of the Designy Doors factory, which specializes in manufacturing wooden and WPC doors, finishing products, floor accessories and wood-alternative wall cladding, at the Sokhna Integrated Industrial Zone, affiliated with the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE).
The first phase includes production facilities covering 15,000 square meters, with investments of $12 million. The project as a whole spans 35,000 square meters, with targeted total investments of $20 million, and is expected to create around 250 jobs. The factory is expected to produce 120,000 wooden doors and 168,000 WPC doors, in addition to 4 million linear meters of accessories and finishing products.
The output will meet domestic market needs, with part of production earmarked for export, contributing to higher exports and reduced reliance on imports. Madbouly said the state encourages investments based on modern manufacturing technologies and capable of producing competitive products, particularly industrial investments in the finishing and building materials sector, which is seeing significant growth driven by the scale of urban and development projects being implemented nationwide.
He stressed the importance of strengthening domestic production capacity in the sector and providing high-quality products to reduce reliance on imports, while expanding exports and enhancing the competitiveness of Egyptian products in foreign markets. For his part, SCZONE Chairman Mostafa Shikhon said the factory represents a successful model of investment that has evolved from commercial and manufacturing expertise into an advanced production base within the Suez Canal Economic Zone.
He said the project reflects the diversity of the zone’s industrial base and adds value to the real estate development and construction sectors by introducing a finished-product industry based on modern design and technology, while enhancing access to regional and international markets.
During his tour, Madbouly inspected the various stages of production, particularly the wood and plastic sections, as well as preparation, cutting, pressing, assembly and packaging processes through to the final product. Factory Chairman Abdo Eid said the project spans 35,000 square meters, with targeted total investments of $20 million, and provides around 250 jobs.
