Sanmar has always recognised the importance of its obligations beyond employees and stakeholders to embrace society at large.

The Group has made substantial investments in its people and the community to make the organisation an invigorating place of work amidst confident neighbours.

The Sanmar Group acquired Trust Chemical Industries in 2007 at Port Said for capacity enhancement of caustic soda, chlorine, VCM and PVC.

Sanmar is the largest Indian investor in Egypt’s chemical industry, the largest caustic soda manufacturer in that country and among the world’s top PVC producers.

In Port Said, the home of TCI Sanmar Chemicals, the neighbourhood community faces several challenges including that of overpopulation. Port Fouad, Port Said’s sister city is mostly populated by Suez Canal workers.

TCI Sanmar has assumed the responsibility of providing the basic necessities for the economically backward at the Quaboty area in Port Fouad.

Monthly food supplies

Rice, Oil, Sugar, Tea, Lentil, Bean, dry apricots, coconut, raisins, dates and meat are distributed free of cost ...
... to all families in the economically weaker sections of the population at the Quaboty area.

To identify the poor families needing such help, a team of eight workers interested in community development and influential in the neighbourhood were selected from various disciplines in the factory.

This team has worked in close cooperation with the Imam of the Mosque, Mahmoud El Elady, who enjoys a good reputation with the Quaboty people.

So far nearly 3000 families have benefited from the food supplies.

Critical medical care

TCI Sanmar met the cost of eye surgery for a young during the year 2011. In another instance, an eye operation was performed on a child during March 2012.

Basic education

A cooperation protocol for construction of a school for basic education (primary and preparatory) inside the housing project at El Quaboty area was signed between the Governor of Port Said and TCI Sanmar Chemicals on May 2011. The project to be spearheaded by the Government of Port Said is estimated to cost EGP 5 million upon an area of 50,000m with a capacity of 30 class rooms, a library, playground and facilities for entertainment activities.

Preservation of the environment

In response to the Port Fouad city chairman’s request, TCI Sanmar donated EGP 150000 to enhance the performance and preservation of the environment. An agreement was signed in February 2012 and a payment of EGP 50000 has been made towards the first phase of this project.
