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.

A key highlight is the use of advanced aluminum systems by ALUMIL, a renowned leader in architectural aluminum solutions. The facade employs ALUMIL’s Loop60 aluminum profiles, which incorporate 60% post-consumer recycled content. This sustainable approach not only reduces environmental impact but also contributes to the tower’s LEED Gold certification ambitions by enhancing energy efficiency and acoustic performance. The lightweight yet durable aluminum frames provide structural strength while allowing for expansive glazing.

Though specific details about the glass used in Riviera Tower are limited, it is expected to feature high-performance glazing technology commonly integrated in such state-of-the-art projects. This includes low-emissivity (Low-E) glass, which reduces solar heat gain while maximizing natural daylight, improving thermal insulation and decreasing energy consumption. The combination of advanced glass and aluminum technologies supports the tower’s bioclimatic design, essential for comfort and sustainability in the Mediterranean climate.

Overall, Riviera Tower is a benchmark for the glass and aluminum industries, showcasing how cutting-edge materials and environmentally conscious engineering can harmonize to create a modern architectural icon that is both visually stunning and energy-efficient.
