The Kader Factory for Developed Industries is one of the factories affiliated with the Arab Organization for Industrialization.[1] [2] It was established in 1949 under the name Heliopolis Aircraft Factory, and its goal was to produce the “Al-Gomhouria” basic training set. In 1975, the factory became a member of the Arab Organization for Industrialization under the name Kader Factory for Developed Industries. The factory area is 135,000 square meters and the number of highly qualified employees is 1,800. The factory includes about 24 production and service workshops, in addition to 30 buildings for administrations and warehouses. It is located in Al-Tayaran Street in Nasr City, Cairo.[3]
The factory was established in 1949. It was named Heliopolis Aircraft Factory for the purpose of designing and manufacturing the first training aircraft in Egypt and the Middle East at the time, which was called “Al-Gomhouria."
After the October War, when the late President Anwar Sadat agreed with the Arab countries to establish the Arab Organization for Industrialization in 1975, the factory was annexed to it under the name Kader Factory for Developed Industries.
The factory has begun to expand into civilian products. During the Corona pandemic, the factory established a production line for masks with a capacity of 10,000 masks per day, in addition to all sterilization materials requirements.
The most important civil industry that the factory contributes to economic development is the manufacturing of widespread food trucks and their equipment.
The factory contributes to environmental protection projects, such as mobile bathrooms in tourist places and modern garbage transport vehicles.
As for agricultural equipment, the factory began producing irrigation networks that contribute to the reclamation of one and a half million acres in the New Valley, in addition to wood and plastic products.
