Agadir – Chinese company Jiangsu Aishelun Medical Technology Group has launched construction of its first African manufacturing plant at Mohammed VI Tanger Tech City.
The project is being developed through the group’s Moroccan subsidiary, InnovMed Tech Group.
The lunch ceremony took place on Saturday at the Tanger Tech industrial platform in northern Morocco. The future plant is expected to serve as a regional production and distribution center targeting markets across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
The Chinese company specializes in medical consumables and infection-control products, including surgical gowns, operating drapes, medical ice packs, adult care products, and urinary collection bags.
The first phase of the project covers nearly 60,000 square meters, with approximately 31,348 square meters allocated for production workshops, warehouses, and office space. Construction costs are estimated at MAD 151.75 million ($15.4 million).
Jiangsu Aishelun had previously announced plans to expand its investment in Morocco from €5 million to €20 million through its Hong Kong-based subsidiary, Excellent Medical Technology Co. Limited.
“The company decided to increase the investment in its Moroccan subsidiary by €15 million through its Hong Kong subsidiary, Excellent Medical Technology Co. Limited, using self-owned and self-raised funds. The total planned investment will therefore not exceed €20 million,” Jiangsu Aishelun said.
The company reportedly projects annual revenues of around €25 million after the plant reaches full capacity within two to three years.
The investment further strengthens Tanger Tech’s position as a strategic industrial platform attracting Chinese manufacturers seeking easier access to European and African markets through Morocco.
The Tanger Tech project is part of broader Moroccan-Chinese economic cooperation initiatives that continue to expand across industrial, logistics, and infrastructure sectors.
In recent years, Morocco has intensified efforts to diversify its industrial base beyond traditional sectors such as textiles and automotive manufacturing, while positioning itself as a competitive destination for high-value industries, including healthcare technologies, batteries, and advanced manufacturing.
