“This project, developed within the Renault ecosystem, once again demonstrates the attractiveness of our industrial platform,” said Minister Mezzour.
He added that the new factory would contribute to the expansion of local value chains and strengthen Morocco’s productive fabric.
“We are particularly pleased with this partnership with MP Industry and Romanian investors,” said Bennis. “Our ambition is to contribute to strengthening their international competitiveness while continuing to promote the industrial integration of Morocco’s automotive sector.”
