Egypt: Titan Egypt has officially inaugurated two export silos at its Alexandria plant, representing an US$11m investment to strengthen the company’s export capabilities.
This expansion enabled the company to export its first 38,000t shipment of Type I/II cement to the United States in May 2026. It aims to raise its export volume to 300,000t/yr by the end of 2026, with plans to increase its export capacity to 1.3Mt/yr by 2028.
Khaled Hashem, Minister of Industry, said "The inauguration of the two new export silos and the export of the first shipment of Egyptian cement to the US represent a significant achievement that reflects the ability of Egyptian industry to penetrate global markets with high technical and competitive standards. Furthermore, this project embodies investor confidence in the Egyptian economy and industrial sector, marking a strategic step toward enhancing the export capabilities of our national industry."
Marcel Cobuz, Chair of the Group Executive Committee of TITAN Group, said "Today, we open the next chapter: export silos that add storage, capacity and reach. The first shipment has already departed Alexandria for the US - cement made here, used in America. This year, we are moving toward 1Mt of exports, each one earning valuable foreign currency for Egypt. TITAN believes in Egypt. We have invested here for a quarter of a century, and we look forward to continuing to build - responsibly, and together with you."
