Its Egypt operation predominantly supplies the US market with sports garments.

“Achieving a significant growth curve in the region with this recent investment, Jade Textile has succeeded to become the largest ready-to-wear apparel exporter in Egypt for the third consecutive year,” the company said in an announcement, citing data from Apparel Export Council.

“This success, achieved after a challenging year has demonstrated once more the power of Turkish companies abroad,” said Yesim Group co-CEO Selim Sankaya.

“Egypt is a strategic investment for us. The free trade agreement signed between Egypt and the US is a particularly important agreement allowing us to sell duty-free goods. Egypt has strategically positioned the ready-to-wear sector as a privileged industry for its growth goals until 2030.”
