KEMEt & SC ZONE

Forging a New Era of Industrial Growth

Harnessing the power of strategic partnership to build Egypt's premier industrial and logistics hub at the crossroads of global trade.At KEMET, we believe that partnerships are the foundation of sustainable industrial transformation. Among our most strategic alliances is our collaboration with the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE)— Egypt's flagship industrial and logistics hub and one of the most promising investment destinations globally.

A Global Trade Artery

SCZONE lies at the crossroads of global trade, with the Suez Canal carrying 12% of the world’s commerce and 10% of global seaborne trade. Each year, more than 26,000 vessels pass through this artery, connecting Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

Our Mandate

Through this landmark partnership, KEMET has been granted the right to promote and develop strategic industrial zones within SCZONE, most notably the KEMET Industrial Complex in Ain Sokhna, placing us at the heart of Egypt’s industrial localization program.
