CAIRO — Egypt’s petrochemicals sector is intensifying efforts to maximize production efficiency and secure feedstock supplies as authorities seek to strengthen export competitiveness and increase value-added industrial output.
During a periodic production committee meeting hosted by Sidi Kerir Petrochemicals Company in Alexandria, Alaa El-Din Abdel Fattah reviewed production rates, operational performance and the availability of natural gas and other key inputs across subsidiaries of Egyptian Petrochemicals Holding Company.
The meeting, held in line with directives from Karim Badawi, also assessed safety, environmental and operational performance indicators to ensure stable operations and sustained output.
