Al Mansour Automotive plans to invest USD 150 mn in two new factories, including its previously announced MG assembly plant and a USD 10 mn vehicle filter plant, according to a readout following a meeting between company executives and Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly. The two projects will provide 10k direct and indirect jobs.

Al Mansour’s USD 10 mn vehicle filter production facility comes as the company aims to localize feeder industries. The facility in the Tenth of Ramadan has an annual production capacity of over 10 mn filters that will serve both domestic assembly lines and export markets.

Al Mansour’s GM assembly plant — developed in partnership with China’s SAIC — is set to begin production in 3Q 2026, ahead of a previously pencilled-in start of production in 2Q 2026. The factory will produce MG-branded vehicles on a 126k sqm plot in New October City. It will have a nameplate capacity of 50k vehicles annually and could double output to 100k in a second phase. Vehicles coming off the assembly line will have 45% local components.

ICYMI- News of the plant came to light in December after the Transport Ministry inked a land usufruct agreement with Al Mansour Auto for the project. At the time, the project had an investment value of USD 135 mn, but the new figure puts its value at USD 140 mn.

ALSO- Dr Greiche is growing its operations to meet growing local market and export demand, with a EGP 500 mn automotive glass complex that will extend its existing operations in Tenth of Ramadan, the local glass manufacturer said in a statement(pdf). The project will create 500 direct jobs and “provide a major boost to the automotive sector in Egypt and beyond, addressing current shortages in essential glass components,” according to the statement.

Production is expected to kick off in 4Q 2026 and introduce new production technologies and products to the country for the first time, including the tech needed to create glass as thin as 2.1 mm and the introduction of thermal roofs, among others — a weight advantage that EV makers in particular are looking for. In addition to the new products, existing production will also be expanded, bringing annual windshield production to 1 mn units, according to CEO Chahir Greiche. Production will be roughly split in half between meeting local demand and export.

AND- Kasrawy Group is now the exclusive agent for Chinese automotive brand Aito in Egypt, adding to the long list of brands under its umbrella — Citroën, Jetour, JAC, and Iveco — under a strategic partnership signed over the weekend, according to a joint statement (pdf). The partnership will see Kasrawy Group bring Aito — a JV between Huawei and Seres Group — cars into the Egyptian market for the very first time.

Checking in on Kasrawy Group’s plans to set up a plant in Sixth of October for the local assembly of Jetour and JAC models. The group plans to launch the locally-assembled Jetour X70 Plus model within the next two to three months, the group’s automotive division VP Mostafa Hussein told EnterpriseAM, adding that the company is looking to form additional partnerships to locally assemble more car models at a later stage.
