Paradise Textiles, the material science and innovation hub of Alpine Group, today announced the development of a US$102 million integrated fabric manufacturing facility in Alexandria’s Amreya Public Free Zone. The project is designed to set a new benchmark for responsible textile manufacturing in the region.
The project is supported by a US$72 million financing agreement with Commercial International Bank-Egypt (CIB), reflecting strong institutional confidence in Paradise Textiles’ long-term growth strategy and investment in future-ready textile manufacturing infrastructure.
From construction through to operations, environmental performance has been embedded into the facility’s design. The site will deploy advanced, lower-impact production technologies and energy-efficient machinery, while reducing resource intensity across water and power usage. Integrated environmental management systems will support continuous monitoring and operational optimisation.
The development aligns with increasing demand from global brands for facilities that meet recognised international sustainability standards and evolving regulatory expectations.
The integrated manufacturing plant will design and produce high-performance polyester and synthetic fabrics primarily used in activewear and sportswear for international brands, particularly those serving US and European markets. The facility is expected to create approximately 1,200 new jobs over the next two years, supporting local economic development and strengthening Egypt’s growing role in global textile manufacturing.
The development come sat a time when global apparel brands are reassessing sourcing strategies in response to shifting tariff environments, geopolitical uncertainty and increasing regulatory scrutiny. Egypt’s duty-advantaged access to the United States under the Qualifying Industrial Zones (QIZ) agreement, combined with its proximity to European markets, positions it as an increasingly strategic manufacturing hub.
The facility will support enhanced innovation capabilities, technical performance and scalable export-oriented production. Expected to be operational by Q3 2026, it will also see the first installation of Regen®, the world’s first microfibre filtration system designed specifically for textile production, reinforcing Alpine Group’s commitment to tackling fibre fragmentation at source.
Deepening Alpine Group’s vertical integration in Egypt
Located adjacent to Alpine Group’s Egypt manufacturing hub, Alex Apparels, the new site strengthens the Group’s vertically integrated platform by bringing fabric innovation closer to the needle. By reducing the distance between fabric development and garment production, the facility is expected to improve speed to market, enable tighter technical collaboration and enhance end-to-end supply chain transparency. It will also strengthen quality assurance processes and support continuous performance optimisation across both fabric and finished garment manufacturing.
Of the total US$102million investment, US$72 million will be financed by CIB in three phases. An initial US$35.5 million tranche has been released, with further disbursements scheduled over the next two years in line with project milestones.
“This investment strengthens our ability to deliver greater speed, consistency and technical collaboration for our brand partners,” said Ehab Mohi, Chairman of Alex Apparels, Egypt.
“By bringing fabric development and garment manufacturing into closer proximity, we are improving lead times, enhancing quality control and enabling more agile, performance-driven production for activewear and sportswear brands serving global markets.”
Ashok Mahtani, Co-Founder and Chairman of Alpine Group and Paradise Textiles, said: “This project reflects our long-term vision of bringing fabric innovation closer to the needle, strengthening vertical integration and building manufacturing ecosystems that are fit for the future.”
“As global brands face increasing sustainability expectations and evolving regulatory requirements, the development of this facility underlines our commitment to responsible growth, transparency and operational excellence. We are listening carefully to our partners and investing accordingly.”
