Handy is expanding its presence in Egypt with the installation of a third tissue machine, strengthening its position in the regional hygiene and tissue market. The new machine will significantly increase the company’s production capacity for high-quality tissue products, supporting growing demand from both domestic and export customers in the Middle East and North Africa. This investment aligns with Handy’s strategy to enhance efficiency, broaden its product portfolio, and improve service levels to retailers, converters, and private label partners. The additional capacity also supports the wider development of Egypt as a competitive tissue manufacturing hub, leveraging cost-effective fiber sourcing, energy, and logistics advantages. With this project, Handy reinforces its long-term commitment to the Egyptian market and positions itself to capture future growth in away-from-home and consumer tissue segments.
