In the heart of Alexandria, nestled in the vibrant district of Al-Seouf, a young boy once looked out at the Mediterranean Sea and dreamed of building something that would stretch far beyond Egypt’s borders. That boy, Engineer Mohamed Hamed, would go on to transform the electrical cable industry with EgyPlast Cables — a company now recognized across continents for its precision, durability, and innovation.
The Spark in Al-Seouf
Engineer Mohamed Hamed’s journey began not in a corporate boardroom, but in the humble streets of Al-Seouf, where community, ambition, and resilience shaped his earliest values. With a keen interest in engineering and a fascination with the infrastructure that powered homes and industries, Mohamed pursued his academic path with laser focus, graduating from Alexandria University with a degree in Electrical Engineering.
But he didn’t stop at education. Driven by a hands-on philosophy, he entered the workforce eager to understand every layer of the industry — from ground-level manufacturing to high-level logistics and market strategy.
Laying the First Wire: The Birth of EgyPlast
The turning point came in the early 2000s, when Mohamed identified a gap in the Egyptian market: a shortage of locally manufactured, high-quality electrical cables that could compete with international standards. Import dependency was not only costly but unreliable. Inspired to fill that void, he founded EgyPlast Cables — a bold venture at the time, especially in a market dominated by foreign giants.
With a small team, a rented facility, and an iron will, Mohamed began production. The early days were anything but easy. He personally oversaw machine installation, trained employees, and often worked day and night to meet deadlines and customer demands.
What set EgyPlast apart wasn’t just its technical excellence, but its commitment to reliability. Every meter of cable that left the facility bore the mark of trust — a value Mohamed never compromised.
Wiring a Nation, Then the Globe
EgyPlast quickly became a trusted name within Egypt, supplying cables for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. From new housing developments to power stations, the company grew hand in hand with Egypt’s infrastructure boom.
As its reputation soared, so did demand from neighboring countries. Today, EgyPlast exports its products to over 25 countries across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, earning recognition for both quality and cost-efficiency. Its Alexandria-based factory has become a symbol of Egyptian engineering excellence — a place where local craftsmanship meets global standards.
Innovation at the Core
Under Mohamed Hamed’s leadership, EgyPlast has never rested on its laurels. The company invests heavily in research and development, constantly upgrading its production lines and adopting eco-friendly manufacturing practices.
“Cables are the veins of any modern system — power, data, connectivity. We take that responsibility seriously,” says Hamed. “Our mission is to be not just manufacturers, but innovators in connectivity.”
EgyPlast has introduced several patented insulation technologies, developed flame-retardant cables for critical environments, and recently launched a solar-compatible product line catering to renewable energy sectors — all milestones that position the company for the future.
The Man Behind the Mission
Despite his company’s international acclaim, Engineer Mohamed Hamed remains deeply connected to his roots. He still lives in Alexandria, frequently visits Al-Seouf, and mentors young engineers across Egypt. He is known not only as a business leader but as a philanthropist, supporting educational initiatives and vocational training for underprivileged youth.
“Success is not about personal gain,” he often says. “It’s about elevating others, building communities, and giving back to the soil that raised you.”
Looking Ahead: A Legacy in the Making
As EgyPlast eyes expansion into North America and Southeast Asia, Mohamed is focused on succession planning and sustainability. His vision is to build not just a company, but a legacy — one that proves Egypt can lead in precision engineering on the world stage.
In a world increasingly dependent on seamless connectivity, the story of Engineer Mohamed Hamed is proof that even the most grounded beginnings can give rise to global empires. From Al-Seouf to international markets, his journey is not just a business success — it’s a national inspiration.
