Apparel OEM Leader Jingyuan Group Expands Global Supply Chain, Launches 1.5 Million Sqm Textile and Garment Factory in Egypt

On July 15, Crystal Group, headquartered in Hong Kong, China, announced plans to establish a 1.5 million square meter textile and garment factory in Egypt. The project aims to build an efficient, high-value-added supply chain relying on 60% to 70% local materials.

Daniel Stockdale, Vice President of Operations at Crystal Group, stated that the group plans to shift a significant portion of its global production to Egypt. This decision is driven by Egypt’s incentive policies, streamlined processes, and the availability of skilled labor. The new factory is expected to commence operations within two years, primarily targeting export markets with which Egypt has trade agreements, especially in Europe and the United States.

Hossam Heiba, CEO of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) of Egypt, emphasized that Egypt now possesses all the necessary conditions to become a global center for garment manufacturing and trade. He expressed optimism that Egypt is expected to become the main hub for garment manufacturing and trade in the Mediterranean region within two years.

Crystal International Group holds a crucial position in the global garment manufacturing industry, producing up to 470 million garments annually for world-renowned brands like Uniqlo, Gap, Lululemon, Levi's, Adidas, and Nike. Their production bases are located in Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

In 2024, Crystal Group's revenue was approximately 2.5 billion USD, with net profit growth exceeding 15%. The company attributed its improved performance to the end of the inventory clearance cycle for brand customers, as well as increased demand for sportswear, intimates, and sweaters.
