Roubiki Leather City tipped for regional hub role
Mahmoud Sarg, head of the Leather Export Council of Egypt, has said Roubiki Leather City is increasingly well-positioned to act as a regional centre for tanning and leather trade.
His comments came during a visit by industry minister Khaled Hashem, who reviewed production activity, factory operations and the main challenges facing investors.
Mr Sarg said current priorities include strengthening veterinary programmes and improving livestock resources to raise rawhide quality, alongside upgrades to technical and logistical services within Robbiki. He described the 500-feddan complex as one of the largest dedicated leather industry projects in the region, and a key part of efforts to lift product quality and rebuild export momentum after recent declines.
He added that Roubiki’s infrastructure and specialised technology centre give it the capability to serve wider regional markets, with further gains expected as international promotion and investment support continue.
