A strategic project for the aeronautics industry
Located in the industrial zone of Nouaceur, close to Mohammed V Airport, the Safran complex will span several hectares and ultimately host production, assembly, and maintenance units for civil aircraft engines.
This project aligns with the Kingdom's industrial vision, which places aeronautics as one of its economic pillars. The sector is already structured around more than 150 companies, employing nearly 20,000 people and contributing 1.5% to the national GDP.
A strengthened Franco-Moroccan partnership
This new investment strengthens economic ties between Morocco and the Safran group, a globally recognized player in aeronautical propulsion. The group is already present in Casablanca through Safran Nacelles and Safran Engineering Services.
According to project officials, this complex will benefit from advanced technological transfer, accompanied by training programs for Moroccan engineers, in partnership with the Institute of Aeronautical Professions (IMA) and OFPPT.
Innovation, sustainability, and skilled employment
Designed according to international sustainability standards, the Safran complex in Nouaceur will be partially powered by renewable energies and equipped with low-carbon footprint facilities.
The project will eventually generate over 1,000 direct jobs, the majority of which will be reserved for young Moroccan graduates specializing in engineering, maintenance, and manufacturing of aircraft engines.
Beyond employment, the project also aims to position Morocco as a regional center for maintenance and production for Africa and the Middle East.
A strong signal for industrial sovereignty
This royal launch confirms Morocco's rising power in high-tech industries. Following successes in the automotive and space sectors, the Kingdom continues its trajectory towards a diversified economy focused on added value and innovation.
The inauguration of the Safran complex also illustrates the confidence of international investors in the stability of the Moroccan economic climate and in the vision held by King Mohammed VI for sustainable industrial sovereignty.
