Chinese industrial group Sanlian Forging, specializing in metal products and automotive components, is expanding its operations in Morocco with the creation of a new subsidiary named Sanlian Technology, according to reports confirmed by industry sources.
The new entity is expected to support the company's growing activities in the North African country, which has become a major hub for automotive manufacturing, attracting investments from global suppliers. Sanlian Forging already operates in Morocco, and this move underscores the deepening economic ties between China and Morocco.
Details about the investment amount and the specific activities of Sanlian Technology have not been fully disclosed, but the subsidiary is likely to focus on manufacturing components for the automotive sector, aligning with the parent company's core business.
Morocco's automotive industry has grown significantly over the past decade, with major international manufacturers and suppliers establishing plants in the country, making it the largest vehicle producer in Africa. The entry of new suppliers like Sanlian Forging is part of a broader trend of Chinese investment in Moroccan manufacturing.
