The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has approved a loan of up to €13.7 million to Alumil Misr for Trade & Industry SAE, the Egyptian subsidiary of ALUMIL SA, supporting the expansion of aluminium manufacturing capacity in Egypt.

The financing will fund the construction and installation of a new aluminium extrusion line at Alumil Misr’s production facility located in the Polaris Industrial Zone in Cairo. The investment is expected to significantly increase the plant’s production capacity while strengthening Alumil’s vertically integrated manufacturing strategy.

According to the EBRD, the project aims to enhance local manufacturing capabilities, support private-sector development and reinforce the competitiveness of Egypt’s industrial sector.

Mark Davis, Managing Director for the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean at the EBRD, highlighted the importance of the investment, stating that the partnership with ALUMIL will help strengthen domestic production and contribute to the development of a more competitive industrial landscape in the region.

The new extrusion line will enable the company to improve operational efficiency, reduce supply-chain lead times and expand its ability to deliver advanced aluminium systems to the construction and industrial sectors across Africa and the Middle East.

Headquartered in Greece and listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, ALUMIL is a vertically integrated manufacturer of architectural aluminium systems with 10 production sites serving more than 60 countries worldwide.

The Egyptian facility plays a strategic role in the company’s global operations due to its proximity to the Suez Canal, positioning it as a key export hub serving markets across Africa, the Middle East and surrounding regions.
