They also said that the company has also embraced a strategy for training youths on the latest production techniques as well as selling and maintenance in accordance with the international standards.

 

Meanwhile, Madbouli voiced his appreciation for the company’s sponsoring the conference, noting that he is willing to know more about the company’s expansion plans and pumping more investments to Egypt. He also asserted that the government was committed to supporting the private sector’s investment plans and removing any hardships it could face.

 

The premier also said he is ready to visit the company’s plant in Sadat City after the start of the production line, welcoming the company’s expansion plans in Egypt.

 

Also, Minister of Trade and Industry Ahmed Samir reviewed the available investment opportunities in the food industries and packaging sector, asserting that Egypt has vast potentials in this sector.
