Construction & Infrastructure
Egyptian cement, clinker, aggregates and concrete additives shipped to construction projects worldwide — residential, commercial, infrastructure, marine and megaprojects. EN 197-1 / ASTM C150 grades, Mill Test Certificate per lot before B/L.
Construction & infrastructure
Egypt Globe Group ships cement (CEM I 42.5N / 52.5N, CEM II, SRC, White), clinker, aggregates, gypsum, limestone and concrete additives from 7 Egyptian seaports to construction markets in 60+ countries, alongside BS 4449 rebar, structural sections and dimension stone from its Metals and Construction divisions. Egypt holds roughly 85 million MT/year of installed cement capacity with a structural export surplus, and the group's role is to make that surplus procurable lot by lot: the right grade, the right standard, a Mill Test Certificate per lot before the Bill of Lading.
Contractors and ready-mix buyers do not fail on price; they fail on a silo of cement that sets early or a rebar heat below yield. Many regional exporters certify on the producer's typical values rather than the lot. EGG's Quality Assurance division — at the nucleus of the group since 2014 — samples at mill and silo, re-tests at the port laboratory and rejects at the loading port any lot outside the MTC, never re-graded or renegotiated.
