AGS Launches Regional Toner Cartridge Filling Hub in Egypt

Advanced Green Systems Ltd. (AGS) is proud to announce the official launch of its toner cartridge filling and assembly facility located in the heart of Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone). With this milestone, AGS positions itself as a strategic supply chain partner for global imaging brands, OEMs, and distributors aiming to expand their presence across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) through efficient, localized, and cost-effective operations.

Strategically situated 1 hour from Cairo and adjacent to the Sokhna Port, the AGS facility addresses a growing need in the global imaging industry: regional, high-quality cartridge filling and packaging solutions tailored to the needs of African and Arab markets. At a time when rising logistics costs, long lead times, and counterfeiting challenge traditional supply models, AGS provides a reliable and forward-thinking regional alternative.

Redefining Regional Fulfillment in the Imaging Industry

AGS operates as a regional manufacturing and distribution hub, offering:

• Copier toner cartridge filling and assembly for widely used models (e.g., Ricoh, Canon, Konica Minolta, Kyocera)
• Private-label packaging and branding services for local distributors
• Contract manufacturing (toll filling) for international toner brands
• Supply chain support to streamline last-mile delivery and stock availability
• Partnerships with chip and cartridge component suppliers to ensure reliable sourcing

“AGS was created to solve a strategic problem — how can global brands stay competitive in high-growth regions without shipping from thousands of kilometers away?” said Fady Salib, Founder and Managing Director. “By filling and packaging within Egypt’s SCZone, we cut time, cost, and risk out of the supply chain — while staying close to the customer.

A Strategic Location with Built-In Trade Advantages

Egypt’s SCZone offers unmatched access to key global and regional markets through a network of favorable trade agreements, including:

• COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa)
• GAFTA (Greater Arab Free Trade Area)
• The Agadir Agreement

These agreements enable duty-free and VAT-exempt exports to over 30 countries, offering AGS partners an immediate pricing and access advantage over non-local competitors. The proximity to major ports also allows for dramatically shorter lead times compared to suppliers shipping from Asia or Europe.

Combating Counterfeits and Building Brand Control

The MENA and African markets are increasingly challenged by the presence of gray market and counterfeit toner products. AGS helps global brands protect their reputation and reclaim market share by enabling:

• Controlled, secure local production
• Tailored labeling, language localization, and traceability
• Reduction in risk of product diversion or unauthorized replication
• Responsive production aligned with regional sales cycles

“The problem isn’t just price — it’s trust,” Salib added. “When imaging brands manufacture closer to market, they control the product, message, and delivery. That’s how we protect integrity and build loyalty.”

Partnership-Ready: From Private Label to Global Expansion

AGS is currently opening its doors to:

• Toner manufacturers seeking regional fulfillment
• Copier cartridge brands expanding into Africa or the Gulf
• Distributors needing locally packaged product under their own label
• Corporates and government entities looking for reliable regional sourcing

With its flexible workflows, transparent pricing, and scalable capacity, AGS allows partners to extend their market presence without the burden of setting up local infrastructure.
