Public Enterprises Ministry launches overhaul plan to modernize affiliated companies: El-Shimy
Minister of Public Enterprises Sector Mohamed El-Shimy has announced the implementation of a comprehensive modernization plan for companies affiliated with the ministry. The plan centers on digital transformation, technology localization, and advancing Egypt's industrial self-reliance by integrating smart manufacturing solutions and forging practical partnerships. El-Shimy made the announcement during a workshop on spare parts manufacturing using 3D printing and digital machining, held at the Digital Manufacturing Centre (DMC) inside the Engine Factory of the Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI) in Helwan. The event was attended by AOI Chairperson Mokhtar Abdel Latif, Deputy Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities Sayed Ismail, and representatives from Immensa, a company specialized in digital spare parts manufacturing using advanced 3D printing technologies. During the workshop, both El-Shimy and Abdel Latif emphasized the need to fully leverage national manufacturing capabilities and strengthen cooperation in the production of industrial spare parts through advanced technologies. These efforts are aligned with Egypt's Vision 2030 for sustainable development and industrial modernization. El-Shimy underscored the urgency of greater collaboration and integration across national industrial institutions. He stressed that adopting modern technologies—such as 3D printing—is now essential for enhancing Egypt's manufacturing competitiveness, reducing import dependency, and creating high-value employment opportunities. He also praised AOI's longstanding national role in supporting the state's strategy for modernization, renewal, and technology localization. El-Shimy described the workshop as a tangible step toward deepening industrial integration among government entities and promoting private sector cooperation in Egypt's digital transformation journey. AOI Chairperson Mokhtar Abdel Latif echoed these sentiments, highlighting that AOI had recognized the value of these emerging technologies early on and took proactive steps by establishing the DMC. The center is equipped with advanced global technologies and highly trained technical staff, aligning with Fourth Industrial Revolution standards. The DMC has successfully localized manufacturing technologies for pumps of various types and applications and is capable of meeting a wide range of industrial demands at globally competitive quality levels, Abdel Latif added. He affirmed AOI's readiness to enhance cooperation with both public and private sector entities, in coordination with academic and research institutions. The goal is to maximize the use of advanced capabilities at the DMC and across all AOI factories to address national industrial needs. A comprehensive inventory of spare part requirements is currently being compiled, with manufacturing plans already underway. Abdel Latif reaffirmed that AOI has all the capabilities needed to meet these demands using advanced manufacturing techniques, in line with President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi's directives to raise the share of local manufacturing, localize strategic technologies, reduce imports, and promote the 'Made in Egypt' initiative. He explained that 3D printing and digital machining technologies enable on-demand, high-precision production of complex or obsolete spare parts that are often unavailable in the market. The technology has already proven effective across a wide range of sectors, including automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, and medical devices.

The loyalty platform will engage influencers, media professionals, and community organizations to support the culture of local consumption and promote national products. It will also celebrate the contributions of key supporters of the Make it in the Emirates initiative. Awareness campaigns will further enhance public and investor confidence in national products. This partnership aims to align efforts between MoIAT and Sinaha to deliver innovative initiatives that support national priorities and enhance public-private sector integration.
