Made-in-Egypt chlorine pellets should hit the market by the of this year, as Organi Group works towards a USD 100 mn factory that will mark the Middle East’s first facility producing the swimming pool cleaner when it starts operations in 2025, CEO Essam Organi told Asharq Business.

The project will cut down the country’s annual import bill for chlorine pellets by USD 200 mn, Organi added.

We’ve heard quite a bit about Organi Group’s investment plans as of late, with the head of the company announcing last week that it plans to invest USD 1 bn in the automotive and tourism sectors by 2030.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of an in-the-works chlorine pellet factory, with the state-owned Egyptian Chemical Industries (Kima) and Chemical Industries Holding Company partnering with Cadence Energy and Engineering Consultancy to establish a seemingly similar venture back in 2023.
