German group Leoni Cable Solutions is investing 630 million dirhams in Kenitra. This first African factory relies on strong automation and unprecedented skills transfer to train Moroccan talent in next-generation vehicles.

Morocco’s automotive industry is reaching a decisive turning point toward high value-added activities. The equipment supplier is rolling out a vast support program led by its experts based in Germany and Turkey. This strategy aims to transfer cutting-edge expertise to on-site teams so they can master complex industrial processes and international quality standards. Hicham Hannioui, the company’s national manager, confirms this technical direction by explaining that the factory will capitalize on existing human potential while preparing employees to "support tomorrow’s mobility technologies".

On a 48,000 square meter site, this highly automated facility features a dedicated laboratory for material control. Assembly lines will produce single-wire, multi-wire and data transmission cables for connected vehicles worldwide. Designed with a 9,000 square meter land reserve to anticipate growth, this industrial site also integrates photovoltaic panels and prioritizes the use of recyclable mineral materials.
