The Swedish group Trelleborg, a global leader in polymer solutions, has inaugurated its new industrial site within the Midparc platform in Nouaceur. Specializing in the manufacture of sealing systems for the aerospace sector, this new facility marks a significant milestone in the development of Morocco’s aeronautics industry.

Representing an investment of nearly 130 million dirhams, the project is expected to create between 150 and 200 skilled jobs in the long term. Beyond its direct economic impact, this establishment aims to strengthen local industrial capabilities and develop new skills within the Kingdom’s aerospace value chain.

During the inauguration ceremony, the Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, emphasized that this project is fully aligned with the national strategy to increase local integration rates and enhance Morocco’s presence in global aerospace supply chains.

The minister also noted that the opening of Trelleborg’s second production site in Morocco demonstrates the confidence that a global industrial player has in the Moroccan market. According to him, the Kingdom today possesses the necessary assets to become a benchmark industrial platform for the group’s activities in Africa and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.

For his part, Trelleborg CEO Peter Nilson stated that this establishment would allow the group to strengthen its proximity to several major clients in the aerospace industry, including Airbus, Safran, and other manufacturers operating in Morocco.

Nilson explained that the choice of Morocco hinges on the maturity of its aerospace ecosystem, the quality of its industrial infrastructure, and the stability of its economic environment. He also praised the conditions offered by Midparc and the support from Moroccan authorities in bringing the project to fruition.

According to Hamid Benbrahim El Andaloussi, CEO of Midparc, Trelleborg’s entry represents a new asset for the national aerospace ecosystem. This establishment is expected to enhance the integration of advanced technologies, innovation, and added value within the Moroccan industry.

This project originated from the memorandum of understanding signed between the Moroccan government and Trelleborg during the Marrakech Air Show 2024. It illustrates the momentum that the Moroccan aerospace sector is currently experiencing, which has become one of the key drivers of the Kingdom’s industrialization.
