Baden-Würtemberg/Germany – Bilfinger is expanding its business operations in Egypt: The company was awarded a significant Project Management and Consultancy (PMC) contract by Egyptian Chemical Industries (Kima). Kima’s goal is to install a new chemical and fertilizer plant at their existing site in the city of Aswan. With an expected production of 600 tons of nitric acid per day, the new plant is going to significantly increase their local production capabilities.

“As a worldwide exporter of chemical products, this new plant is crucial for growing our production capabilities in Aswan,” indicates Abdel Meguid Heguazi, CEO of Kima. “By the end of 2027, it will allow us to produce 800 tons of granulated ammonium nitrate in fertilizer quality per day, which will be delivered to clients locally and around the world. We trust that Bilfinger will be the perfect solution partner to represent us in all project phases along the way and to make sure that we meet our targets most efficiently.”

Following the signing on August 12, Bilfinger’s branch in the Middle East has allocated a regional team of specialized engineers to provide independent design review and site supervision services and to ensure that the third-party contractor consortium in place fulfils its obligations according to Kima’s high expectations. As their PMC contractor, Bilfinger will thus be representing their client across all engineering, procurement and construction stages of the project, including pre-commissioning, commissioning and performance testing.
