    Egypt CNG plant starts dispatches, adding modest first-year sales as Africa's first local unit.

    Everest Kanto Cylinder said its Egypt subsidiary, EKC Egypt S.A.E, has started dispatching CNG cylinders after commencing commercial production. The company called it the first manufacturing unit in Egypt and Africa to produce CNG cylinders locally. No capacity, order or financial numbers were disclosed, so the near-term impact is expected to be a gradual ramp-up in export and local Egypt sales.
