The Egyptian base shifted its focus from engineering construction to stable operation, with management reporting progress in efficiency, costs, supporting services and local management. The base was used in the group's overseas-to-overseas production-and-sales scheduling. This is a change in the role of an existing manufacturing site, not a new line commissioning event or a quantified saving attributable to one support project.
The parent and major subsidiaries report 11,395 active employees, including 8,544 production personnel and 1,736 technical personnel. This supports a manufacturing-intensive operating description without estimating output per worker from undisclosed annual tonnage. The occupational breakdown is separate from the 1,182 research personnel already reported in the R&D table; the two classifications cannot be added to infer 2,918 distinct specialists. Labour outsourcing is disclosed separately with heterogeneous measurement and no unified hours figure, so the employee total is not a count of every external worker or a basis for cost per outsourced hour. General training attendance, benefits and cultural activity counts are condensed because the selected passages do not establish a quantified change in production, quality or scarce-skill capacity.
