Mobica, the leading automotive interior company in Egypt, plans to introduce Chinese automotive glass production technology and production lines | Ov
In recent years, Egypt has been vigorously promoting the localization strategy of the automotive industry. By increasing import tariffs and providing investment incentives, it guides the local production of auto parts to reduce its dependence on imported parts.
Egypt's automotive development strategy has also created a clear window period for local suppliers to upgrade.
It is reported that M. Farouk, the founder and chairman of Mobica, a well - known Egyptian auto parts manufacturer, is about to visit China. He will discuss technical cooperation, joint venture factory establishment or co - investment cooperation with Chinese automotive glass manufacturers. He hopes to establish an automotive glass production line that meets OEM standards in Egypt and expand his business to the automotive glass manufacturing field.
As a key safety component, the local production of automotive glass can not only meet Egypt's growing demand for automotive production capacity (covering traditional brands and emerging Chinese brands). Moreover, by virtue of the multiple free trade agreements (such as EU - Egypt Association Agreement, COMESA, ACFTA) signed by Egypt with the European Union, African and Arab countries, it can radiate to the vast European and African markets, enjoy tariff preferences, and has significant strategic value and export potential.
【Company Introduction】
The Mobica Group is a leading automotive interior enterprise in Egypt. It was established in 1979 and started with office furniture. It has gradually developed into an industrial group covering multiple fields such as automotive interiors and building systems. Its automotive business segment (Mobica Advanced Industries) specializes in automotive seats and interiors.
Mobica has modern factories with a total area of over 280,000 square meters in Egypt, with more than 2,500 employees. It has the full - process production capacity from metal processing, foam molding, fabric cutting and sewing to final assembly. It has long supplied high - quality interior assemblies such as seats and door panels to international brands such as Mercedes - Benz, Jeep, Nissan, Toyota, as well as Chinese brands such as Chery and Changan.
【Business Plan】
Based on its existing automotive interior system manufacturing business, Mobica has formulated a strategic plan to extend to the automotive glass manufacturing field. This plan is based on its years of OEM supporting experience, large - scale manufacturing capacity and existing supply chain system, and is a further deepening of its existing business structure.
The core of the plan is to invest in building an automotive glass manufacturing factory that meets the standards of global original equipment manufacturers. The project plans to build a facility with an area of 15,000 square meters, with a designed annual production capacity of 300,000 sets of automotive glass sets, including windshields, side windows, rear windows and panoramic sunroofs.
This business extension is in line with Egypt's policy direction of promoting the localization of the automotive industry chain. By increasing its automotive glass manufacturing capacity, Mobica plans to transform from an automotive interior supplier to a comprehensive automotive parts supplier. It can not only provide a more complete product portfolio for its existing customers, but also support Egypt to enhance its regional automotive manufacturing and export status and develop towards the Middle East and African markets.
【Cooperation Opportunities】
Technology licensing and process support: Seek licensing of technologies related to automotive glass production and obtain process guidance.
Equipment and production line introduction: Introduce professional production equipment and complete production line solutions.
Local production: Through cooperation, establish a glass manufacturing production line that meets international standards in Egypt, combining Mobica's local production management experience and the technical expertise of partners.
