Furthermore, the PM confirmed the advantages, incentives, and guarantees enjoyed by factories operating in investment zones as well as the ease of integrating them into value-added chains, which achieves the highest benefit for investors and the economic system as a whole. Madbouly also visited the Egyptian-Swiss group of companies, where he listened to Ahmed Al-Sebaei — General Manager of the Egyptian-Swiss Group — review the latest developments pertaining to the group's companies. The Egyptian-Swiss Company for Concentrates (Jam and juice) was established in 2013 with a capital of EGP 40m to manufacture concentrate products with a production capacity of 3,000 tonnes per month.
