Indian automotive supplier Samvardhana Motherson International Limited (SAMIL) has announced two capacity expansions in Morocco, one for automotive wiring harnesses and another for rearview mirrors, with production start-ups scheduled for 2027. The company confirmed the plans in a statement, though specific investment amounts and plant locations were not disclosed.
The expansion is part of Motherson's strategy to strengthen its global footprint and cater to growing demand from automakers in the region. Morocco has become a key hub for automotive manufacturing, attracting suppliers due to its proximity to Europe and trade agreements.
Motherson already operates several facilities in Morocco, and these new lines are expected to create additional jobs and enhance local manufacturing capabilities. The company did not specify which customers the new production will serve, but it is likely to support major carmakers operating in the country.
Analysts view this move as a positive step for Morocco's automotive industry, which has seen significant growth in recent years. The new production lines are expected to be operational by 2027, aligning with the industry's shift toward electric vehicles and advanced components.
