French Manufacturer to Build Aircraft and Helicopter Parts in Casablanca
French group Mecapole Industries is preparing to establish an industrial presence in Morocco. Specializing in precision engineering, it plans to manufacture parts for aircraft and helicopters in Casablanca. Production is due to begin in early 2028, creating dozens of jobs.
After six production sites in France, Mecapole Industries is setting its sights higher. The group used the Marrakech Airshow, held from October 7 to 10, to announce its arrival in Morocco. On its official LinkedIn account, the manufacturer says it aims to meet the increase in production rates among its customers in the aerospace and defense industries, while expanding its business with new international clients.

Its expertise is used in the aerospace, military and rail sectors.
