Egypt Basic Industries Corporation (EBIC) operates a dedicated ammonia production plant in the First Industrial Zone at Ain Sokhna, near Suez on Egypt's Red Sea coast. The facility is a greenfield export-oriented ammonia plant with an annual capacity of approximately 730,000 to 748,000 metric tons of liquid ammonia, making it the only merchant ammonia producer in the Middle East.
Commissioned in 2009, the plant utilizes KBR's Advanced Ammonia Process (KAAP) technology and features direct pipeline connections to storage and loading facilities at Sokhna Port, enabling efficient seaborne exports. Ammonia produced serves primarily as a feedstock for fertilizers and industrial chemicals, with output shipped to markets worldwide.
EBIC is a subsidiary of Fertiglobe, in which Fertiglobe holds a 75% stake. Fertiglobe itself is a major nitrogen fertilizer producer headquartered in Abu Dhabi and majority-owned by ADNOC following its 2024 acquisition of the controlling interest from OCI Global. The company maintains its head office in Cairo and contributes significantly to Egypt's position as a key exporter in the global nitrogen fertilizer sector.
