The Armoured Production and Repair Factory (Egyptian Arabic: مصنع إنتاج وإصلاح المدرعات) or Military Factory 200 (Egyptian Arabic: مصنع 200 الحربي) is an Egyptian government joint-stock company, one of the companies of the National Authority for Military Production, affiliated with the Ministry of Military Production.
[1] It was established in 1987 in the Abu Zaabal area of Qalyubia Governorate on an area of 2.5 million square metres,[2] as a result of the agreement concluded between the Egyptian government and the United States government for the joint production of the American M1A1 Abrams main battle tank,[2] where the first tank was produced at the factory in 1992, and the factory continued production until it produced more than 1,000 tanks of this type for the Egyptian Armed Forces.
