Grifols has appointed board member Tomás Dagá as vice chairman of Grifols Egypt (GEPD), the joint venture with the Egyptian government to deploy the country’s first full plasma production system for Egypt, Africa, and the Middle East. The project, launched under a 2020 agreement, involves nearly €280 million in investment and aims to secure the national supply of plasma-derived medicines.
Grifols currently operates 16 donation centers in Egypt, plans to open four more in 2026, and is establishing an analysis laboratory and a central plasma logistics center. The first phase of the plasma processing plant is set to start operations next year.
The initiative has already created around 1,200 high-skilled direct jobs and over 14,000 indirect and induced positions. Dagá will oversee industrial and regulatory consolidation, strengthen relations with Egyptian authorities, and accelerate the full operational rollout of the project.
