Egypt's Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly witnessed the opening ceremony of the SE Wiring Systems Egypt S.A.E., a subsidiary of Sumitomo Electric Wiring Systems Europe, in 10th of Ramadan City northeast Cairo, a Cabinet statement announced on Tuesday. The new factory is one of the world's largest for automotive wiring harness production, with integrated departments, advanced technologies, a training academy, research and development centre, and an eco-friendly design including a solar energy system. Madbouly assured the government's full support for the company's expansion in Egypt, highlighting the country's strategic position as a production and export hub with investment potential, skilled workforce, and engineering talent. He also underscored the advantages offered by Egypt's extensive network of trade agreements, which bolster the global competitiveness and market access of Egyptian products, according to the statement. Mohamed Hammam, deputy managing director of Sumitomo Egypt, noted that this achievement builds upon a long-standing record that began in 2008 with a bold vision and a belief in the capabilities of the country. "For nearly two decades," he said, "we have been—and continue to be—partners in the journey of development, driven by values of innovation, quality, and excellence." He extended his appreciation to the prime minister and government bodies, adding: "You have been our genuine bond throughout every phase." He added that the Egyptian workforce—including engineers, technicians, and management—has shown exceptional skill and professionalism, becoming a model within the global Sumitomo Group and delivering outstanding results. For four consecutive years, the company has been the largest exporter in Egypt's free zones, with annual sales exceeding €300 million—a result of exceptional effort and dedication from its engineering teams and skilled Egyptian workforce.
