CAIRO – 23 September 2017: Bosch, a leading international supplier of technology and services, is considering the establishment of a number of industrial projects in Egypt, Trade Minister Tarek Kabil said Saturday.

He said that the projects will involve several industrial sectors, with the aim of supplying the market with industrial products and exporting them to neighboring countries, especially Africa.

This came during Kabil’s meeting with Markus Thill, Bosch’s President with responsibility for the region Africa, where they reviewed the company’s current and upcoming projects in Egypt.
