Damietta Gas Plant
Damietta Gas Plant is one of Egypt’s leading industrial facilities in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) sector. Established in 2006 under the leadership of Dr. Mohamed Saad El-Din, Chairman of Saad El-Din Group, the plant was developed to support the national energy supply chain and ensure the reliable distribution of LPG cylinders across the Egyptian market.
Since its establishment, the plant has undergone continuous development and expansion. The facility initially operated with a production capacity of approximately 10,000 LPG cylinders per day. Through ongoing investment in infrastructure and technology, the plant’s capacity has increased to approximately 30,000 cylinders per day, with further expansion plans designed to meet the growing demand in the domestic market.
