Titan Egypt plans to invest more than €35 million this year, up from over €22 million in 2025, as the cement producer accelerates export expansion, increases its use of alternative fuels and advances projects aimed at reducing its carbon footprint.
Part of the Greece-based TITAN Group, one of the leading cement and building materials producers in Southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean, Titan Egypt is positioning its local operations as a growing export hub serving international markets.
Speaking during the inauguration of two new export silos at the company’s Alexandria plant, Chief Executive Amr Reda said Titan aims to export around one million tonnes of cement by the end of 2026, compared with approximately 500,000 tonnes two years ago.
The company is targeting exports of 300,000 tonnes to the US market this year after shipping its first cement cargo to the United States in May, marking its entry into one of the world’s largest construction markets. Growing infrastructure investment and sustained construction demand in the US have created new opportunities for competitive overseas suppliers, opening an attractive market for Egyptian cement exports.
Titan ultimately aims to raise exports to the US to around 1.3 million tonnes over the coming years while continuing to expand shipments to other international markets.
The new Alexandria export silos, built through an investment of approximately €10 million, are expected to strengthen the company’s export logistics and improve access to Mediterranean shipping routes linking Egypt with Europe and North America. Alexandria’s strategic location enhances Egypt’s competitiveness as a regional manufacturing and export platform.
The investment programme also supports TITAN Group’s broader decarbonisation strategy through increased use of alternative fuels, improved energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions across its production operations. These initiatives are designed to enhance operational efficiency while helping meet increasingly stringent environmental standards in global construction supply chains.
The expansion reflects a broader shift across Egypt’s cement industry towards export-led growth. With domestic production capacity exceeding local demand, manufacturers are increasingly targeting overseas markets to diversify revenues, generate foreign-currency earnings and strengthen the sector’s contribution to the country’s industrial exports. Titan Egypt’s latest investment programme underscores that strategy by combining capacity expansion, logistics upgrades and sustainability initiatives to enhance its long-term competitiveness in international markets.
