Egyptian Fertilizers Company

Egyptian Fertilizers Company (EFC) is Egypt's premier private sector granular urea producer, renowned for its efficiency and strategic location. With a production capacity of 1.55 million metric tons per year, EFC operates two cutting-edge production lines established in 2000 and 2006 through a partnership with Uhde, utilizing advanced process technology. The company further augmented its capabilities with a 325 thousand metric ton per year urea ammonium nitrate blending unit introduced in 2010. EFC was fully acquired in 2008, marking a significant milestone in its growth trajectory.

Situated in Ain Al Sokhna, the deepest port in Egypt located 55 kilometers south of the Suez Canal, EFC enjoys a competitive advantage in freight costs over its regional and Asian counterparts by bypassing the Suez Canal. Furthermore, its proximity to Egypt Basic Industries Corporation (EBIC) within the Suez Industrial Development Company's (SIDC) industrial park at Ain Sokhna facilitates operational synergies, leading to greater efficiencies.

Operating within an integrated ecosystem, the plants benefit from shared resources for raw materials, utilities, and operational facilities, translating to enhanced efficiency, cost savings, and reduced capital expenditure. With a focus on continuous optimization, EFC has established itself as a key player in the Agriculture and Manufacturing industries.

The most recent significant private equity round investment in EFC was secured on 11 July 2005, attracting notable investors including Qalaa Holdings and Savola Group, further consolidating its position in the market.
