On May 14, 2026, a delegation from the Chinese company Boway visited provincial authorities in Nador, Morocco, to discuss the construction of a large factory near the future Nador West Med port. The port, which is expected to begin operations before the end of 2026, is a key strategic infrastructure project for the region.
The Boway delegation was led by senior executives, though specific names were not disclosed in verified reports. The factory is intended to produce components for the electric vehicle industry, leveraging Morocco's growing automotive sector and proximity to European markets.
Nador West Med, once operational, will be one of the largest ports in Africa, with a capacity to handle over 3 million containers annually. The investment by Boway is seen as a boost to local employment and economic development in the Oriental region.
Morocco has been actively attracting Chinese investment in recent years, particularly in renewable energy, automotive, and infrastructure sectors. The Boway project aligns with the country's industrial acceleration plan.
