Egypt has large-scale of infrastructure programme, with active manufacturing base, Suez Canal industrial zone, and coastal exposure across both the Red Sea and Mediterranean creates consistent demand for appropriate quality stainless steel fasteners.
We at Stainless Bolt Industries are prominent in manufacturing and supplying of premium grade SS hex bolts, stainless steel hex nuts, and SS screws in Grade 304 and Grade 316 to buyers living in Cairo, Alexandria, Port Said, Suez, and across Egypt.
Egypt’s New Administrative Capital project, the Suez Canal Economic Zone, and ongoing investment in industrial infrastructure all require fasteners in volume and increasingly, in certified grades with proper documentation.
Port Said and Suez’s marine and industrial environments demand Grade 316 for coastal and process applications. Alexandria’s manufacturing and port infrastructure, along with Egypt’s Red Sea coast development, add to the demand for corrosion-resistant fastener grades.
We supply to Egyptian trading companies, contractors, and industrial buyers with competitive pricing, proper export documentation, and supply chain reliability for Suez Canal-linked logistics.
SS Hex Bolts in Egypt
Stainless steel hex bolts are used across Egypt’s construction, port, industrial, and marine sectors. We supply Grade 304 and Grade 316 in metric and inch sizes for Egyptian buyers.
SS hex bolts in Egypt are specified for Suez Canal Zone construction, port infrastructure in Alexandria and Port Said, structural steel in the New Administrative Capital, marine facilities on the Red Sea coast, and industrial plant assemblies. Grade 316 hex bolts are the standard for any coastal, port, or marine-adjacent application in Egypt.
Â
Available Types:
- Fully threaded hex bolts
- Partially threaded hex bolts (hex cap screws)
- Heavy hex bolts for structural applications
Sizes Available: M6 to M100 | 1/4″ to 4″ in inch sizes
Standards: ASTM A193, DIN 933, DIN 931, ISO 4014, ISO 4017
SS Hex Nuts in Egypt
We supply SS hex nuts in matching 304 and 316 grades, ensuring consistent material throughout bolted connections.
In Egypt, stainless steel hex nuts are used in port and canal infrastructure, industrial plant flanges, marine vessel construction and repair, and general structural assemblies.
For process service applications in the Suez Canal Zone’s industrial facilities, we supply heavy hex nuts certified to ASTM A194 on request.
Â
Available Types:
- Standard hex nuts (DIN 934 / ISO 4032)

SS Screws in Egypt
Stainless steel screws handle fastening in sheet metal, enclosures, HVAC ductwork, facade systems, and light fabrication. We stock SS screws in 304 and 316 for Egyptian buyers across all standard types and drive configurations.
Egypt’s large-scale commercial construction, industrial zone fit-out work, and coastal infrastructure all use SS screws.
Grade 316 is the correct choice for outdoor Red Sea and Mediterranean-coast applications where salt air exposure is consistent.
Â
Available Types:
- Self-tapping screws (pan head, countersunk, hex washer head)
- Machine screws (pan, CSK, round head Phillips and slotted)
- Hex head self-drilling screws (tek screws)
- Socket cap screws (Allen screws)
- Set screws (grub screws)
Sizes Available: M3 to M20 | #6 to 3/4″ in inch series
Standards: DIN 7981, DIN 965, DIN 912, ISO 148
SS 304 vs SS 316 Fasteners
| Feature | SS 304 Fasteners | SS 316 Fasteners |
| Composition | 18% Chromium, 8% Nickel | 16% Cr, 10% Ni, 2% Molybdenum |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good towards handling most industrial environments | Excellent tolerance towards chlorides and salt water |
| Marine Use | Not suitable near saltwater | Standard choice for marine/coastal use |
| Chemical Resistance | Moderate | Higher, due to molybdenum content |
| Temperature Performance | Up to ~870°C intermittent | Similar, with better pitting resistance |
| Cost | Lower | 20-30% higher than 304 typically |
Egypt’s inland construction like Cairo, the New Administrative Capital, Upper Egypt industrial zones works well with SS 304 for structural and dry interior applications. Egypt’s coastal strip Alexandria, the Red Sea coast, Port Said, Suez should specify SS 316 for any outdoor or marine-adjacent application. The combination of the Red Sea’s high salinity and the Mediterranean’s salt air means 304 degrades faster than most buyers expect in outdoor coastal installations.
Applications of Stainless Steel Fasteners in Egypt
- Suez Canal Zone and Port Infrastructure the Suez Canal Economic Zone is one of Egypt’s most active industrial development areas. Port construction, industrial facility fit-out, and marine infrastructure across Port Said and Suez require Grade 316 fasteners for marine-exposed applications.
- New Administrative Capital and Construction Egypt’s New Administrative Capital project represents a massive fastener demand centre. Structural hex bolts and nuts for government buildings, commercial towers, and infrastructure use Grade 304 for inland dry construction.
- Oil and Gas Egypt’s oil and gas operations in the Western Desert and offshore Gulf of Suez require certified fasteners like ASTM A193 B8M bolts and A194 8M nuts for process flanged connections. We supply with full EN 10204 3.1 MTCs.
- Marine and Red Sea Infrastructure Egypt’s Red Sea tourism infrastructure, port facilities at Sokhna and Hurghada, and marine vessel operations all require Grade 316 fasteners. The Red Sea’s high salinity makes 304 unsuitable for outdoor marine use.
- HVAC and Electrical Egypt’s large-scale commercial construction uses SS screws in HVAC systems, ductwork, panel boards, and cable trays. Grade 304 self-tapping screws handle most of this demand.
- Food Processing and Manufacturing Egypt’s substantial food processing industry along with its textile and light manufacturing base in Alexandria and the Delta region uses SS 316 fasteners in equipment that undergoes chemical cleaning or operates in hygienic environments.
