What Astron does

Astron Manufacturing and Engineering SAE (DBA: Astron) is an Egypt-based, privately held industrial Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor founded in 2003 and headquartered in Borg Al Arab City, Alexandria. The company delivers integrated industrial projects across cement and building materials, power and utilities, steel and heavy industry, factories and industrial buildings, fertilizer and process plants, and infrastructure and public works, with client names kept confidential until approval. Its core offering is the EPC & Turnkey Delivery model, which connects engineering, procurement support, project controls, HSE, construction, fabrication, site installation and documented handover under one accountable contract to reduce interface risk.

The company's underlying technology combines in-house industrial fabrication with project-delivery tooling. Astron operates a 15,000 sqm industrial site in Borg Al Arab with approximately 5,000 sqm of covered workshop, supporting CNC plasma, flat laser and tube laser cutting; plate rolling and press brake forming; radial-arm drilling and CNC turning; T-Master and ESAB SAW beam welding; MIG/MAG, TIG and SMAW welding; sandblasting and airless spray coating; and UT, MT and PT non-destructive testing coordination. Engineering outputs are produced through AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, Tekla, Navisworks, SAP2000, ETABS, Civil 3D, Primavera P6 and MS Project for BIM coordination, shop drawings, BOQs, MTOs and as-built documentation. Qualified monthly steel-fabrication capacity is up to 750 t/m. Quality and safety are embedded through ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certifications issued by Intertek (valid until 09 June 2027), scoped to Design and Fabrication of Steel Structures, Plate Works and Pressure Vessels, with WPS/WPQR control, welder records, NDT coordination and manufacturing dossiers for pressure-vessel work.

Astron makes money through project-based contracts priced via a structured RFQ process — customers submit drawings, quantities, specifications and inspection requirements, and the technical, construction and commercial teams negotiate delivery route and commercial terms. Revenue streams span one-off EPC and turnkey contracts, standalone construction/site-execution packages, hardware sales from in-house steel-structure fabrication, plate works and industrial equipment, pressure-vessel fabrication under code-compliant scope, and professional services for project management and engineering. Go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise sales through the corporate website and email, with no channel partners, resellers or intermediaries identified, and the documented geographic focus is Egypt with stated capability to serve regional MENA industrial projects.

Core offering

Astron delivers industrial projects through an integrated EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) model combined with construction execution, project management & controls, engineering & BIM coordination, and in-house industrial fabrication of steel structures (up to 750 t/m), plate works/industrial equipment and pressure vessels. Its 15,000 sqm industrial site in Borg Al Arab City, Alexandria, Egypt (with ~5,000 sqm covered workshop) supports cutting, forming, rolling, machining, welding, inspection and finishing workflows under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified systems.

Product overview

Astron Manufacturing and Engineering SAE operates as an industrial EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) company with in-house fabrication capabilities. The core offering is the integrated EPC & Turnkey Delivery service that coordinates engineering, procurement support, fabrication, construction, site installation, QA/QC, and handover documentation. The company operates a 15,000 sqm industrial site with approximately 5,000 sqm of covered workshop space. The product portfolio comprises three interconnected service layers: (1) Project Delivery Services including Construction & Site Execution, Project Management & Controls, and Engineering & BIM; (2) In-house Fabrication Products including Steel Structures (up to 750 t/m capacity), Plate Works & Industrial Equipment, and Pressure Vessels; and (3) Specialized Support Services including Infrastructure Works and Energy & Industrial Support. The fabrication capabilities serve as a strategic advantage strengthening the EPC and construction delivery model. Quality and HSE controls (ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified by Intertek) are embedded across all services rather than sold as separate offerings.
