Egyptian Swiss Group unveils US$25M expansion plan
The investment will be channelled into upgrading production lines, expanding milling operations, and enhancing export capabilities.
EGYPT – Egyptian Swiss Group for Pasta, Milling & Concentrates has announced a bold US$25 million expansion plan to significantly boost its production capacity and market reach over the next five years.
The company, a leading player in Egypt’s food manufacturing sector, is setting its sights on achieving EGP 5 billion (US$105.53M) in total sales by the end of 2025, with EGP 3 billion (US$63.32M) expected to come from its pasta division alone.
The announcement was made during the company’s celebration of World Pasta Day, during which executives outlined its strategic growth roadmap.
The investment will be channelled into upgrading production lines, expanding milling operations, and enhancing export capabilities.
This move comes on the heels of a strong performance in 2024, during which the company recorded a 25% increase in total sales and a 100% growth in pasta exports.
According to Eng. Ahmed ElSebaie, General Manager of Egyptian Swiss Group, the expansion is designed to meet rising global demand for high-quality, affordable pasta products.
Additionally, Ahmed El-Sebaie revealed that the expansion plan includes adding three new spaghetti production lines over the next five years, with the first new line scheduled to start operations next year.
The company also plans to introduce a third milling line as part of a longer-term strategy to enhance its milling capabilities.
These investments are part of a broader effort to support the company’s growth in both domestic and international markets.
A key component of the group’s strategy is its recent international accreditation of its laboratories by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Egyptian Accreditation Council (EGAC), which ensures compliance with global quality standards and enhances the company’s credibility among international buyers.
The expansion plan also includes investments in technology and infrastructure to support sustainable growth and operational efficiency.
Egyptian Swiss Group aims to increase its footprint in key export markets across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, leveraging Egypt’s strategic location and trade agreements.
In addition to pasta, the company is focusing on its milling and concentrates divisions, which are expected to benefit from increased production capacity and improved logistics.
With this ambitious expansion, Egyptian Swiss Group is positioning itself as a major force in the regional food industry, contributing to Egypt’s economic growth and food security.
The company’s commitment to innovation, quality, and global competitiveness underscores its vision to become a top-tier exporter and a household name in international markets.
