Mohamed Salah El-Din Mostafa, Egypt’s Minister of State for Military Production, reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to attracting further investment and forging new cooperative partnerships with state entities, as part of a broader strategy centred on localising advanced manufacturing technologies. The remarks came during an unannounced inspection tour by the minister of the Heliopolis Chemical Industries Company (Factory 81 – Military Production), one of the leading producers of specialised paints and chemical products in Egypt and the Middle East, where he reviewed the progress of production operations. During the visit, Mostafa toured the company’s production lines and received briefings from Mohamed Abdel Moneim El-Bassiouny, Chairperson of the Board, along with work teams, on the latest developments of ongoing projects, adherence to implementation schedules, and production and performance indicators over the previous period. He underscored the ministry’s firm belief that investment in human capital remains the cornerstone of the production process. Its rubber and plastics output supports a number of civilian industries, including the production of stadium seating manufactured in line with international standards set by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA).
