On October 19, the People's Daily reported on Jushi Egypt, an enterprise entering the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone. The report quoted the interviewee as saying: Jushi Egypt has made significant contributions to the development of Egypt's glass fiber industry, and the company's localization policy It has cultivated a large number of talents in the glass fiber industry. Today, Egypt has become the world's fourth largest glass fiber production and trading country. Chinese companies have brought us benefits and benefits, and we are very grateful. The following is the full text:

At the dawn of dawn, Hussam, an employee of Jushi Egypt Glass Fiber Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Jushi Egypt"), got up. Hussam's family is out of town and needs to catch a shuttle bus to Suez, where the company is located, every Sunday. The shuttle bus is provided free of charge by the company, and he can also enjoy additional transportation subsidies.

Providing convenient transportation so that employees do not have to worry about commuting is one of the ways for Jushi Egypt to focus on absorbing and cultivating local talents. The company provides a variety of shuttle bus options for local and foreign employees in Suez, and also distributes different levels of transportation subsidies according to the distance between the employee's home and the company. "It makes me feel very warm." Hussam excitedly told our reporter.

What surprised Hussam even more was that the company also provided free dormitories for non-local employees like him, with washing machines, water dispensers and other household appliances, water and electricity networks and TV signals provided free of charge, and specially set up gymnasiums, activity rooms, cafes and restaurants in line with local eating habits to facilitate and enrich the lives of employees.

In addition to providing protection for employees in life, the company is careful to cultivate local employees in business. The reporter learned in the interview that up to now, the proportion of local employees in Jushi Egypt is as high as 98%, of which the proportion of localization of middle-level management positions has reached 76%. In the course of operation, the company pays attention to the cultivation of outstanding technical talents in Egypt, especially the training of middle-level employees.

Serliman, who has been on the job for only eight years, has now been promoted to deputy general manager of the company. He introduced that Chinese managers have carried out the work of mentoring and leading middle and high-level employees in Egypt for five consecutive years, and included them in the annual evaluation and performance evaluation indicators. Encouraged by this policy, the proportion of Egyptian executives and middle-level managers has increased rapidly in recent years. At present, there are two Egyptian executives in the five-person executive team. In addition, the company also carries out the training of "one post and multiple abilities" for Egyptian employees. In the process of changing different process varieties and production requirements, employees can be internally deployed to take up posts. This policy not only improves the professional expertise of employees, but also exercises their comprehensive skills.

"We were touched by the teachers from China who taught us all their knowledge and skills without reservation. Although I haven't worked long, I 've learned a lot and I'm confident about my future." Hussam told our reporter.

Founded in January 2012, Jushi Egypt has become the leading enterprise in the Suez Canal Economic Zone and the largest Chinese-funded manufacturing enterprise in Egypt. As the largest overseas production base of China's glass fiber industry, Jushi Egypt's total assets doubled from 2014 to 2020, directly creating nearly 2000 local jobs, and creating more than 0.74 billion Egyptian pounds (about 47.23 million US dollars) of tax revenue and more than 1 billion US dollars of foreign exchange income.

"Jushi Egypt has made significant contributions to the development of Egypt's fiberglass industry, and the company's localization policy has trained a large number of talents in the fiberglass industry. Today, Egypt has become the world's fourth largest fiberglass producer and trading country, and we are very grateful for the benefits and benefits that Chinese companies have brought to us." Seriman told our reporter.
