We pair Alexandria-based factory relationships with an LLM stack that pre-vets suppliers, drafts your spec sheet, and ranks quotes — so you can run apparel and promo orders out of Egypt without hiring a sourcing manager.

European brands have spent two years redesigning supply chains around Suez disruption, China decoupling, and Bangladesh political risk. Egypt sits inside the Mediterranean — on your side of the chokepoints.
Egypt–EU Association Agreement (in force since 2004) gives qualifying garments and promo goods 0% import duty into all 27 member states. The “double transformation” rule of origin and the Pan-Euro-Med cumulation cover most apparel chains we touch.
Alexandria → Genoa, Valencia, Piraeus, Hamburg in roughly a week by container; faster by air for samples and rush replenishment. The route never crosses the Red Sea south of Suez, so Houthi disruption doesn’t touch outbound shipments to Europe.
Egyptian factories built capacity around fast-fashion European volumes — 500–5,000 unit production runs are normal, not the 10,000+ MOQ you’ll quote in Bangladesh or Vietnam. That’s the gap most SMB brands actually need.
No retainer to start. The discovery phase is free for the first 5 pilot brands. We only earn when your first PO ships.
You fill the brief form below or send a tech pack. We turn it into a structured spec sheet (sizing, material, finishing, packaging, label, target FOB) in 24h.
Our LLM stack scores Alexandria-cluster factories against your spec; we pull three quotes, normalize them onto a single comparison sheet, and send it with our recommendation.
We commission samples from the shortlisted factories, photograph them in Alexandria, and ship by DHL or aramex to your studio. You sign off — or we iterate.
Production runs under our PO. We do mid-run and pre-shipment QC, manage customs paperwork (EUR.1, COO), and track the container until it clears your destination port.
Generic sourcing agents are getting eaten by AI procurement platforms (Zip, Levelpath, Mercanis). Those platforms can’t walk into a factory in Borg El Arab on a Tuesday afternoon. Bridge sits in the middle: an LLM stack that scales the boring half — spec sheets, supplier matching, quote comparison, compliance checks — backed by a real Alexandria-based partnership for the half that needs hands and a phone call in Arabic.
The same automation stack runs NeuraScale — our parent AI lab — and ships our other portfolio products. Sourcing is just where we point it for European brands.
Alexandria textile factory, in-house production for tees, hoodies, woven shirts, accessories. Our anchor for the apparel lane.
Long-standing customs broker relationship at Egypt’s primary export port. EUR.1 certificates of origin handled in-house.
Bridge is run by Omar G. Nagy — founder of NeuraScale, builder of three SaaS products. You get an operator’s eye on margins, not a middleman’s commission grab.
We’re narrow because narrow wins for SMB buyers. If you need something adjacent — hospitality linen, building materials — ask; we have partners but it’s a v2 lane.
Tees, hoodies, sweats, woven shirts, totes, caps. Egyptian cotton on request. Ideal for Shopify-scale brands that need 500–5,000 units, not 50,000.
Branded tote bags, pouches, drawstring bags, corporate gifts, event giveaways. Everything that lives at the intersection of textile + branding for European agencies and corporate buyers.
Adjacent on request: hospitality linen & uniforms, marble & granite from Egyptian quarries. We have factory partners for these but treat them as v2 — ask if you have a real RFQ.
We make money when your container lands. Discovery is free for the first 5 pilot brands.
We turn your brief into a spec sheet, score 3 factories, and deliver normalized quotes — at no cost.
After the first 5 pilots ship, discovery becomes €500 (credited back into your first PO commission).
Standard sourcing-agent commission, mid-range of the 3–10% market band. We bill it to the factory side, so it’s baked into the FOB you see — no surprise line items on your end.
Repeat orders: 5%. We’d rather earn on volume than on first-time fees.
Special projects (large hospitality contracts, exclusive private-label programs) are custom-quoted; ask in your brief.
Bridge Sourcing is run by Omar G. Nagy, an Egyptian operator who builds AI-first products full-time. The same automation stack that runs NeuraScale — our parent AI lab — and ships products like RetailOS, MedPrüf, and Harmonia is what lets Bridge serve SMB brands at margins generic sourcing agents can’t match.
The premise is simple: a small operator with the right LLM stack can deliver concierge sourcing at a price point that used to require a 10-person trading-house team. We pair that with a working partnership at Womonde — an Alexandria textile factory — and a customs broker relationship at Alexandria Port that’s been in the family for two generations.
We’re narrow on purpose: Egypt→EU, apparel + promo, SMB volumes. Every other lane is a v2.
We respond inside one business day, Cairo time. The first 5 pilot briefs get free discovery.
