Doha – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has provided a $25 million equity investment to support Dislog Group in Morocco. According to a statement from the institution, the financing aims to strengthen the company’s capital structure and advance its mergers and acquisitions strategy.
Founded in 2005, Dislog has established itself as a diversified and integrated Moroccan industrial group. The company is positioned at the heart of what EBRD describes as the “life economy” with a presence in the hygiene, food, and healthcare sectors.
The investment is part of a larger capital increase alongside several co-investors. These include SPE Capital, the International Finance Corporation, Sanam Holding, Sanlam, and H&S Invest Holding.
The funds will refinance Dislog Group’s recent acquisitions. They will also support the company’s deleveraging efforts ahead of its upcoming IPO and contribute to strengthening its financial structure.
According to the announcement, Dislog’s recent acquisitions are expected to deliver operational synergies. These moves will expand its national footprint and reinforce its position across consumer and healthcare value chains.
The transaction has received approval from all relevant authorities. This includes Morocco’s Competition Council. DLA Piper and Roland Berger served as legal advisers for the transaction.

Dislog Group currently manages a portfolio of over 200 brands. These are either owned directly or operated through partnerships. The institution states that the Group contributes to improving consumers’ daily lives in Morocco and Europe.
The company employs more than 3,400 people. According to EBRD, these employees are committed to promoting innovative and accessible brands that support households.
In recent years, Dislog has expanded into the pharmaceutical industry through “CMB Plastique.” The company now operates across three sectors: hygiene, food, and healthcare.
This investment continues EBRD’s involvement in Morocco’s economy. In a separate recent initiative, EBRD partnered with the European Union and other institutions to provide a €65 million green financing package to Banque marocaine pour le commerce et l’industrie (BMCI).
Morocco became a recipient of EBRD resources in 2012 as a founding member of the bank. To date, the EBRD has invested €5.4 billion in the country through 113 projects.
