Imagine: in only 10 years, the Tanger [plant] is as big as any large-scale car plant in the world,” he adds. Behind the success story of the export of cars and automotive components, the industrialization of Tanger-Med spans textiles, aeronautics, electronics and agri-food processing, says FDI Intelligence. Kenitra is located outside the industrial zones of Tanger Med but relies on it as a “partner”, says Mounir Kharbouche, general manager of Stellantis’s Kenitra plant. Stellantis uses Tanger Med to export cars but also to import parts from elsewhere. The plant sources 40% of its imports from TAC, 30% from nearby Kenitra and 30% from international imports which come through Tanger Med.
