Partnership
We are expanding in Alexandria — and looking for the partner to do it with.
Wesha Stones has processed and exported Egyptian marble and granite for 35 years. Our Alexandria site is 10,000 m² of industrial land, 2,000 m² of it under roof, with six Italian machines running and the port in the same city. The plant runs and the orders ship. What we want is to grow faster than cash flow alone allows — and for that we are looking for a partner, not a rescue.

The plant, as it is today
Photographs and video of our own site — not renderings, and not a stock library. What you see here is what you will walk through.
What we bring
Industrial land, with the services already in
Ten thousand square metres of industrial land in Alexandria, two thousand of it under roof. A private half-megawatt transformer, a fire-service water meter, a mains drinking-water meter, and every utility connected. Services are the part that takes longest to arrange in Egypt, and they are already in.
The port is in the same city
We load at Alexandria. The marble cluster at Shaq El Thoban outside Cairo is roughly 220 km from the same quay, and every export container pays for that road twice — in freight and in days. If your output goes overseas, the address is money.
A working order book
We export today and we run retail outlets in Alexandria. A partner joins a trade that is already moving, not a business plan.
What we are looking for
Production capacity
More sawing and finishing capacity than we can add out of cash flow alone. We are not describing an idle plant — we are describing one we intend to make bigger.
Capital to expand
To commission additional lines, and to build on the open ground rather than leave it as yard.
A route into your market
Egyptian beige marble and Aswan granite sell in China, Italy and the Gulf — and Alexandria itself is one of the largest markets in Egypt for Egyptian granite. We want a steady channel, not one-off containers.
What this is not
This is not a rescue. The plant runs, the orders ship, and the business has paid its own way for 35 years. What we are after is growth faster than cash flow alone allows, on ground we already hold. If you are looking for a distressed asset to pick up cheaply, this is not that — and better you know it before you book a flight.
Three ways to start
Listed from least commitment to most. Most partners begin at the first and move up once they have seen the work.
Toll processing
Ship us blocks, we cut and finish them, you pay by the square metre. No capital, no long contract, no shared company. The cheapest way to find out whether our work is good enough.
No capital at riskYour machines, our floor
Install your lines under our roof, or build on the open ground. The machines stay yours. We supply the building, the power and the workforce — paid as rent, or as a share of output.
Most common structureJoint venture
One company, both sides funding it. Our site, our workforce and our standing in the local trade; your equipment and your sales channel. Profit split by agreement.
Longest to agreeWhy Alexandria rather than Cairo
Almost every foreign stone operator in Egypt is at Shaq El Thoban, on the edge of Cairo. There are good reasons for that: the cluster has the trade, the labour and the neighbours. But it sits about 220 km from Alexandria port, and if you are exporting, that road is charged against every single container in freight and in days. Our floor is in Alexandria itself. For a factory selling into Egypt, Cairo wins. For a factory selling out of Egypt, this does.
The same container, from two addresses
| Shaq El Thoban, Cairo | Abd El Kader, Alexandria | |
|---|---|---|
| Road haul to Alexandria port | ≈ 220 km | Same city |
| Under roof | Rented workshop | 2,000 m² |
| Room to build | None | 8,000 m² of open ground |
Questions we get asked
Can a foreign company rent or use factory space for stone processing in Egypt?
Yes, and there are several ways to do it without buying land. We offer three: toll processing, where you ship us blocks and pay by the square metre; installing your own machines under our roof or building on our open ground, while we supply the power and the workforce; or a joint venture.
How far is your factory from the port?
We are in the Abd El Kader manufacturing area inside Alexandria, and we load at Alexandria port — the same city. For comparison, the marble cluster at Shaq El Thoban outside Cairo is roughly 220 km from that same quay, which every export container pays for in freight and in days.
Do you do toll processing only, without any partnership?
Yes. It is the way most partners start. You send blocks, we saw and finish them, you pay per square metre. No capital, no long contract and no shared company — it exists so you can judge our work before committing to anything larger.
Can I visit the factory before deciding anything?
That is the only thing we ask for on a first contact. Come to Alexandria, walk the land and the covered floor, watch the machines running, then drive to the port. The visit carries no commitment.
What kind of machinery are you looking for?
Sawing and finishing capacity. Six Italian machines are installed and working; this is about adding to them rather than starting from nothing. We are open on ownership: the machines can stay entirely yours.
Tell us what you have
Four sentences is enough. We answer partnership enquiries ourselves, within one working day.
Come and look at it
Nothing gets agreed on a phone call, and we would not ask you to. Come to Alexandria, walk the land and the covered floor, watch the machines running, then drive to the port. No commitment attached to the visit. If it is not right, you will know inside an hour.
