TCI Sanmar Chemicals S.A.E.

The Sanmar Group is the largest Indian investor in Egypt — through a 100% owned company, namely TCI Sanmar Chemicals S.A.E., with its state-of-the-art chemical manufacturing facilities located at Port Said. The Group’s journey in Egypt started 2007.

TCI Sanmar has so far invested around USD 1.20 billion in creating world class facilities to produce 275,000 MT per year of Caustic Soda, 400,000 MT per year of Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM), 200,000 MT per year of Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and 60,000 MT per year of Green Ethylene. These capacities are the biggest thus far in the entire MENA region. TCI Sanmar also operates a Zero Liquid Discharge plant, the first of its kind in Egypt.

In Phase-II, additional investment to the extent of USD 280 million to double the PVC capacity from 200,000 MT to 400,000 MT per annum and also set up a 135,000 MT per annum plant to produce Calcium Chloride granules have been taken up. These projects are nearing completion. With this, the total investment of The Sanmar Group in Egypt will reach USD 1.50 billion, which is the largest from India in the chemical sector.

Besides providing direct and indirect employment to around 3000 persons, the company's products sold in the domestic market substitute imports and thus save foreign exchange outgo substantially. Also export of both Caustic Soda and PVC (and Calcium Chloride granules in future) will fetch much needed dollar inflow for the country. Further, true to its role of a responsible corporate citizen, TCI Sanmar Chemicals involve itself in a number of CSR activities, thus playing a positive role in the economic upliftment of Port Said.
