DELFINGEN, global automotive
supplier and manufacturer of on-board
network protection solutions and fluid
transfer tubing, has inaugurated a new
site in Tangier, Morocco, an area
considered by many as the new Detroit
of North Africa.
The company has been active in
Morocco since 2000 with a production
plant in Casablanca followed by a
logistics centre in Tangier in 2003.
The company now enters a new stage
of strategic importance with the
launching of a production facility of
over 8,500m2 in the Tangier Free Zone
(TFZ). This significantly strengthens
Delfingen’s industrial footprint in the
area.
This new site, with already over 100
co-workers, meets the company’s
standards of industrial excellence, and
will specialise in the manufacturing of
technical tubing and sleeves for
automotive wiring harness protection,
and in the assembly services for
sealing systems in partnership with the
Hutchinson company.
This new step reflects the group’s
commitment to continuously assist its
customers by being near their sites to
enable higher reactivity and, thus,
better service.
Gérald Streit, CEO, said: “The
impressive economic take-off of the
automotive industry in Morocco, the
trust we have in the governance of the
country, together with our experience
in local production for over 15 years
prompt us to make significant
investments in this area of the world
over the next three years.”
The opening ceremony took place in
presence of Bernard Streit, president
of the Delfingen Group, Gérald Streit,
and the executive committee.
Representatives of the TFZ, local
authorities, as well as many customers
and partners joined them to celebrate
the event.
