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 1.50 billion in creating world class facilities to produce 275,000 TPA of Caustic Soda, 400,000 TPA of Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) and 135,000 TPA of Calcium Chloride Granules and 60,000 TPA 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.
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.
