Central Metallurgical Research & Development Institute Information

Central Metallurgical Research and Development Institute - CMRDI CMRDI is a research center affiliated to the State Ministry of Scientific Research. The mission of the institute is to contribute to the national economy and the welfare of the society by improving the Egyptian industry through technological development and technology transfer. CMRDI offers services to industry covering research projects, consultancy, technical services, training, testing and certification. Over almost three decades of collaboration with Egyptian industry, these services have been focused on the actual demands of the clients and needs of the companies; giving the institute a profile of needs pull rather than technology push. CMRDI has a longstanding and successful collaboration with many national and overseas R&D institutions, which guarantees a sound scientific basis. CMRDI has also largely benefited from cooperation with international agencies such as JICA (Japan), TNO (Netherlands) and SIDA (Sweden). Thanks to this support, CMRDI was able to play an effective role in transferring many technologies to the Egyptian industries as well as to African and Middle-East countries.
