Sokkar Mecca Trading Company for Industrial Sewing Machines has signed a partnership agreement with “Indos Smart Manufacturing Made Simple”, aiming to supply the Egyptian market with “Garment IO” advanced manufacturing systems powered by artificial intelligence for sewing machines, in a step that supports production operations in the ready-made garment sector in Egypt.
The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the 22nd edition of the international exhibition for garment machinery, printing technologies, and accessories, “Egypt Stitch & Tex,” held at the Cairo International Convention Center from December 4 to 7.
The signed partnership provides an advanced manufacturing technology “Garment IO” which helps reduce time waste by up to 60%, increase productivity by 15–20%, improve quality by up to 40%, and reduce machine downtime by up to 50%, relying on advanced technological systems and data analytics. This contributes to improving performance and increasing production and export capacities for ready-made garment factories in Egypt.
Egypt’s ready-made garment exports are expected to reach USD 1.4 billion by the end of 2025, marking an increase of up to 24% compared to the first quarter of the same year. The sector employs around 2.5 million workers and contributes approximately 3.4% of the country’s GDP, which aligns with Sokkar Mecca’s growth plans.
