We are pleased to announce that Egypt has been formally recognized as an ISTMA member represented by EMDA – Egyptian Mould & Die Association.
Established on 1 September 2024, the Egyptian Mold & Die Association (EMDA) was founded through an initiative led by EL ARABY and FRESH Groups with the objective of representing and strengthening Egypt’s mould and die industry and establishing closer connections with international industry organisations. EMDA operates as a division of the Chamber of Engineering Industries, within the Federation of Egyptian Industries, and has already brought together more than 180 members.
The Association’s activities focus on promoting the development and competitiveness of the Egyptian tooling industry through knowledge exchange, the dissemination of best practices, technical skills development and stronger cooperation between companies and institutions. Its work includes contributing to the development of vocational education curricula for mouldmaking technicians, supporting initiatives to strengthen local manufacturing capabilities, organising technical seminars and expert visits, and facilitating international cooperation, technology transfer and business networking.
EMDA is also actively working towards the development of specialised technical training structures to address the industry’s skills and technological challenges and support the growth of a stronger domestic mould and die manufacturing base.
Welcome to ISTMA World!
