We spoke yesterday with newly-appointed<font face=\"Arial\"> <\/font>deputy CEO Mohamed Talaat (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mohamed-talaat-khalifa-mtk-948a2021\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>, a veteran of Arafa Holding) to talk about what\u2019s next for Concrete.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Remember- <\/strong>The demerger has been underway since Sunday, when the EGX halted trading on Arafa Holding. Shares of the two companies will start trading on the EGX starting Sunday, 24 March. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The rationale:&nbsp;<\/strong>The demerger and birth of Concrete Fashion Group aims to concentrate the group\u2019s efforts on the fashion brand Concrete (a play on the size and rapid growth of the domestic market) and exports (reflecting Egypt\u2019s new cost competitiveness as an international manufacturing hub after the float of the EGP),Talaat told Enterprise. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s all about delivering a clearer equity story and centering the group on proven success stories: <\/strong>\u201cArafa had multiple investments, and the multiple investments had different dynamics,\u201d Talaat said, explaining that bringing them together under the umbrella of Concrete Fashion Group was the way to go. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The pandemic had a big role to play in the demerger decision: <\/strong>The changing dynamics of the global supply chain following the Covid-19 pandemic set the stage for the company\u2019s expansion, Talaat said. Egypt is well-positioned to take advantage of changes in the supply chain dynamics, he added, explaining that Europe is now looking at Turkey and Egypt to develop its supply chain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Concrete\u2019s expansion is already underway: <\/strong>The group set up a branch in Dubai last year, which is poised to become the \u201cspearhead\u201d for expanding Concrete products offshore, Talaat explained. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The decisonmakers: Maria Luisa Cicognan<\/strong> (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/maria-luisa-cicognani-23b836b\/?originalSubdomain=uk\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>) will chair the group. She\u2019s a European finance veteran with regional experience. Our friend <strong>Hani Berzi<\/strong>, founder and chief executive of Edita, has joined Concrete as an independent board member, and&nbsp;<strong>Hassan El Khatib<\/strong>, the former global head of equities at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, as a non-executive board director, according to a&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2024\/3\/1542.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">press release (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And to help accelerate the group\u2019s global expansion: <\/strong>The group earlier this year appointed Matteo Zappal\u00e0 (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/matteo-davide-zappala-4967b112\/?originalSubdomain=it\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>), who has spent over 20 years working with top Italian fashion groups, as chief operating officer to help accelerate the company\u2019s international expansion, Talaat said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Untapped export potential: <\/strong>\u201cThe export of readymade garments is a major source of foreign currency and job creation, which is something that we really need at the moment and will need for so long,\u201d Talaat said. The local clothing industry is well-positioned for growth as more international brands look to relocate their supply chain, Talaat explained, adding that Concrete \u201chas strong relations with the top fashion houses,\u201d which translates to more brands coming to manufacture in Egypt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The changing dynamics of global supply chains after the pandemic set the stage for the company\u2019s expansion offshore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":617262,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-feature.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8312],"tags":[3469,7396,72,8297,338],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-617261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-retail","tag-arafa-holding","tag-concrete-fashion-group","tag-enterpriseam","tag-fashion","tag-retail","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"6d4ba01f-009d-4d6f-9d4d-95462b47d3f0","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2024\/3\/1605.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"Egypt\u2019s Concrete Fashion Group looks to expand exports following the Arafa Holding demerger","related_issue":[617251],"teaser":"The changing dynamics of global supply chains after the pandemic set the stage for the company\u2019s expansion offshore","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2024\/3\/.4235a092-da2a-4bae-a4ce-48a7c769d122.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What can we expect from Concrete Fashion Group post demerger?
