The tanning cluster is being moved from Cairo, where it was formerly based, to the new manufacturing site placed in Robiki. Stage 2 is actually underway. 116 companies have already moved their headquarters to the new site, announced the Egyptian minister of Industry and Trade; on top of that, ten of them have been allegedly supported by the Government to act faster, thus somehow serving as an example for the others. According to international press, the Egyptian government is about to transfer to Robiki all of the remaining tanneries, which will be enabled to restart their production in the new site. Aiming to complete relocation by March 2018
