History & Background
El-Kamal co. for Textile Industry and Trade has been founded by Mr. Ahmed Kamal Abd El-Rahman in 1950. The factory was established in the industrial zone of Shubra El-Kheima one of the famous industrial textile zones. The factory started with textile semi-automatic looms. In 1962 El-Kamal co. was saved from “El taameem” by Gamal Abdel Nasser as it was considered a factory of the 23rd of July revolution generation, but it was obliged to give its production to the governmental department as a deal to be provided with the raw materials from the government. During that time most of our production was exported to the Soviet Union according to the deal between Egypt and the Soviet Union. By 1962 after hard negotiation El-Kamal co. was able to buy newly automatic looms after a long process of licensing as there were a lot of restrictions in importing through that time and economic conditions were bad. These bad economic conditions continued till 1972 during that time El-Kamal co. was forced to downsize the number of employees as well as some looms because of the war. After the 6thof October war and the strategic political change (opening the free zone in Port Said) El-Kamal co. has undergone a huge renovation and replaced the old looms with a newly automatic looms. In 1980 there were a new management system by Mr. Gamal Ahmed Kamal and by 1985 El-Kamal co. had another renovation and bought computerized looms which enabled the factory to increase its production capacity as the function of one new loom can substitute the output of 15 old looms in addition to being computerized the loom did not require good skilled employees. By 1989 El-Kamal co. has decided to focus on only producing high quality fine cotton shirting fabrics, and due to that all the old looms were replaced by high quality automated looms and the factory began to provide the market with high quality cotton fabrics, and the factory was able to produce high widths of fabrics that reach 150 cm. finished Thus the factory was able to target high quality customers. In 2007 a new factory in “10th of Ramadan” city was established in full capacity with highly technological advanced looms.
