The Commercial Office of the Permanent Mission of the Arab Republic of Egypt in Geneva plays a pivotal role in fostering commercial, trade, and investment relations between Egypt and Switzerland. As part of its continuous efforts to strengthen these ties, the office is proud to introduce an ambitious project spearheaded by the General Authority for Industrial Development of Egypt—the Robbiki Leather City.
Located 54 kilometers from Cairo in the Robbiki suburb, the Robbiki Leather Cluster represents a significant national endeavor and stands as the largest eco-industrial cluster specializing in the leather industry in the Middle East and Africa. This project is not just an industrial enterprise; it is a visionary transformation of the traditional leather tanning and manufacturing sectors into a modern, environmentally responsible, and economically sustainable model.
Integrated Industrial Development
The Robbiki Leather City is designed as an integrated industrial cluster that revolves around the leather tanning industry and its various by-products. The development is strategically implemented in three interconnected phases, each dedicated to different segments of the leather manufacturing value chain. This comprehensive approach ensures a seamless process from raw material to finished goods, promoting efficiency and innovation.
Strategic Relocation and Modernization
One of the primary objectives of the Robbiki Leather Cluster is the relocation of tannery activities from Old Cairo’s downtown area to a more suitable, suburban location. This move is aimed at alleviating the environmental and logistical challenges posed by the former setting. The new location in Robbiki not only offers ample space but also features a modern management model that includes specialized zones for industrial operations, administrative services, and green spaces, ensuring a balanced approach to industrial growth and environmental stewards.
Multilingual Promotional Efforts
To adequately inform and attract potential investors and stakeholders, the Robbiki Leather City project has been accompanied by a suite of promotional materials. These include financial specifications and requirements, detailed brochures about the city’s strategic importance, and guidelines for factory setups in various configurations. These materials are available in several languages, catering to a diverse global audience, and underline the project’s inclusive and international approach.
Accessibility of Information
Recognizing the importance of accessible and transparent information, the Commercial Office has made all relevant data and promotional materials available electronically. Interested parties can download brochures, financial documents, and even a promotional video showcasing the first offering of factories through a dedicated Google Drive link. This ensures that all potential investors and business partners have immediate access to essential information, facilitating informed decision-making.
