We have completed the first phase completely 100%, and moved about 75% of the trenches of the eye stream to the Ruwiki, and began to work with a large production of the local market and export, as the tanneries that have moved are the big tanneries, which represent a production capacity greater than 95% of the market.
The second stage came after we received a very large number of requests for compensation from the course of the eye through a building in a building and we have to build additional units, on the area of ??50 thousand meters and called the second phase, where the completion of the construction and the completion of the installation.
The second phase of the project also includes the establishment of factories that integrate with the leather industry, such as gelatin and cosmetics.
- How many applications did you receive to claim a second stage?
We received approximately 550 requests for compensation from the eye stream through a building building, which will be transferred immediately after the completion of the second phase directly, representing about 25% of the eye stream tannery, with a production capacity of 3 to 5% of the local production.

The investment cost of the Rubik project has so far reached about 2.7 billion pounds, which is a huge amount.
- What are the most prominent factories that will be built in the second stage in Roubeki?
We are in the process of signing the contract for the establishment of the largest gelatin plant in Egypt, Africa and the Middle East, with German company Gilita, which accounts for about 22% of world production, in February.
We are working through this plant to take advantage of the remnants of gelatin that was thrown and is very harmful, as the plant will transform the waste into gelatin medical, food and industrial, to deepen the leather industry by completing the rings of production chains within the industry.
The factory aims to meet the needs of the local industry of gelatin instead of importing it entirely from abroad, and some of the production will be directed to export abroad.
The investment cost for the establishment of the gelatin plant ranges between 800 million pounds and one billion pounds.
- How was the problem of tenants dealt with in the eye stream pigment?
In fact, the problem of the tenants was raised to the House of Representatives, and the meeting was several times to discuss their situation, it was agreed that the tenant has the right to have a tannery if it meets several conditions, be a tenant for more than five years, and has machines for manufacturing, Industrial and commercial register, and to have its own production plant whether for domestic market or export.

- How to deal with the problems presented by the tanning room, whether in relation to the rubik or the procedures of transport from the eye stream?
We are always trying to solve these problems. For example, a public transportation bus station has been set up to transport workers to the Ruwiki, and the number of buses has been increased to 5 buses instead of only 3.
The Chamber has also raised a problem related to the housing of workers before, and was dissolved by the proposal of about 1008 apartments, 800 meters from the workplace, dedicated only to workers.

Already the price of the meter is high but will be paid once in life, some owners of tanneries used to the provision of water, electricity and sanitation free of charge, and the State has borne enormous expenses for the establishment of the city of Rupiki with such professionalism and quality.
The owners of the factories obtained the land free of charge and in double spaces. These factories were built and the bases of the machines were also free. They were granted ownership contracts, while they did not own the land in the course of the eyes.
- How to finance tanneries to equip their tanneries?
