During the inauguration of the extension, on April 1, Youssef Hedda, the director of Clayens NP Morocco, received Moulay Hafid Elalamy, the Minister of Industry, Trade, and New Technologies. The minister described the plant as a model unit, underlining the importance of the factory, particularly in the context of the manufacture of complex plastic and metal parts for the Moroccan automotive industry.
Hedda undertook the expansion of the manufacturing plant with the aim of modernizing it, “thanks to the optimization of manufacturing by digital processes.” The new technologies will also allow the factory to reduce its carbon footprint by 2023 through the use of solar energy.
Speaking at the Spanish Irizar industrial unit in Skhirat, near Rabat, in February, Elalamy emphasized the importance of promoting local industrial manufacturing, citing Morocco’s “great economic potential.”
“Promoting local products is a source of pride for Morocco,” he said on the occasion.
