Our Facilities
Rameda operates three fully independent factories at its plant in Cairo’s Sixth of October Industrial Zone. The purpose-built factories were designed by V-Konsult, a German engineering company, and built by British Carter Construction Ltd. In 2012, Rameda collaborated with M+W Process Industries GmbH, a global engineering and construction company offering complete process and facilities solutions for the pharmaceutical industry, to redesign the plant production areas and ensure GMP compliance.
In 2017, Rameda embarked on a new expansion drive that is poised to grow production capacity at its facilities by an additional 40%, which has been completed in 2019.
Together, these facilities house a total of 20 production lines, deploying best-in-class manufacturing processes and technology. All of Ramada’s facilities are ISO-certified.
