Building a New Industrial Hub in Abu Rawash
Orascom Industrial Parks (OIP) continues to expand its footprint across Egypt with the development of Abu Rawash Industrial Park, one of its key projects designed to strengthen the country’s industrial infrastructure and support sustainable economic growth. The park represents a major step in OIP’s mission to create modern, integrated, and investor-friendly industrial zones that contribute to Egypt’s long-term development goals.
Located strategically in Abu Rawash, the project sits on an area of 2.1 million square metres, positioning it as a major industrial destination within Greater Cairo. The park is being developed through a joint venture between Orascom Industrial Parks and Ahly Capital Holding, combining OIP’s extensive experience in industrial development with Ahly Capital’s strong financial and investment capabilities.
The development work in Abu Rawash began in 2023, marking the start of a large-scale transformation of the area into a key industrial and commercial hub. The park is currently under construction, with infrastructure works progressing steadily. Meanwhile, land sales have already started, and three clients have signed agreements to establish their operations within the park. The first phase is expected to be operational by Q4 of 2026, while full completion is scheduled within 8 years.
Abu Rawash Industrial Park has been designed with a focus on medium-scale manufacturing and the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, providing an ideal environment for businesses seeking access to Egypt’s large consumer base and export markets. The park also accommodates a wide range of targeted industries, including green manufacturing, renewable energy, automotive components, pharmaceuticals, building materials, agribusiness, and water desalination, among others.
“Abu Rawash Industrial Park represents a new generation of industrial development in Egypt, one that combines strategic location, advanced infrastructure, and long-term sustainability,” stated Eng. Amr El Batrik, CEO of Orascom Industrial Parks. “Through this project, we aim to create an ecosystem that empowers manufacturers, attracts investment, and drives economic growth for decades to come.”
Furthermore, beyond manufacturing, the park aims to become a fully integrated business ecosystem, offering space for logistics facilities, data centres, maintenance services, hospital and medical management, and other commercial activities. This multi-sectoral approach ensures that the park caters to the diverse needs of investors while fostering collaboration between industries.
sThe project aims to boost the industrial sector’s contribution to the national GDP, promote value-added production, and increase export capacity, reinforcing Egypt’s position as a regional manufacturing and trade hub. That said, the park’s focus on sustainable infrastructure and green manufacturing will enhance its appeal to investors seeking ESG-compliant industrial zones, opening doors for greater integration into global value chains.
As part of its broader vision, Orascom Industrial Parks sees Abu Rawash as more than a construction project, it is a long-term investment in Egypt’s industrial future. By combining advanced infrastructure, strategic location, and a commitment to sustainability, the park is set to become a catalyst for industrial growth, innovation, and partnership.
Through initiatives like Abu Rawash Industrial Park, Orascom Industrial Parks continues to build on its 25-year legacy of creating world-class industrial communities that enable businesses to thrive and contribute to the nation’s progress, one development at a time.
