German Hose Manufacturer Masterflex Invests €3 Million in Morocco Aviation Hub

"The global aviation industry is currently experiencing an extraordinary increase in demand for air travel and is reaching record levels, both domestically and internationally," says Masterflex CEO Andreas Bastin, quoted in a press release. To meet this demand, the German hose giant has decided to continue its expansion policy and set up in Morocco. "The quality of training, the high level of workforce, strict adherence to processes and quality standards, but also geographical proximity and overall costs - all these factors convinced us to choose Morocco as another production site, after extensive international research," he adds.

The future Masterflex factory in Morocco will be based in the Midparc free zone, near Casablanca, and will be under the Matzen & Timm brand, the specialist in aerospace applications, according to the press release. "Like all our sites, the new company will be certified accordingly, and the validation of products specifically intended for the aerospace sector will continue to be done in close collaboration with our customers," reassures Peter Bremer, Managing Director of Matzen & Timm. If everything goes as planned, customers will be able to source molded parts, bellows and hoses "designed in Germany, made in Morocco" from 2026, concludes the note.
