Sinai Cement

What Sinai Cement does

Sinai Cement is an Egyptian cement manufacturer established in 1997 and headquartered in New Katameya, Cairo. The company operates a state-of-the-art production facility in North Sinai with an annual capacity of 2.9 million tons of premium packed and bulk cement, serving the domestic Egyptian construction sector and select landmark infrastructure projects across Africa. Its products carry CE Mark and EOS certifications, positioning the company for both local and export-grade construction applications.

The business is a subsidiary of France-based Vicat Group, a 165-year-old multinational cement producer with operations spanning 11 subsidiaries across Egypt, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and India. Sinai Cement's leadership includes Vicat-appointed executives (Managing Director Pietro Cala representing Vicat Egypt for Cement Industry SAE; Regional Manager Gianfranco Tantardini overseeing Mediterranean and Asian operations) alongside an independent Egyptian chairman (Hady Ayaad, formerly of Egypt Post). This hybrid governance combines multinational operational expertise with local market knowledge.

Sinai Cement generates revenue through direct industrial sales of bulk and packed cement to construction companies, infrastructure developers, and industrial buyers. Pricing is negotiated contract-by-contract and is not publicly disclosed. The company's 5,001–10,000 employee base, audited financial disclosure cadence (Dec 2021 through Mar 2026), and a recent ~$33.8M funding round in June 2025 suggest an established, increasingly transparent operating business with active capital-markets engagement.
