A Major Chinese Project for Car Tire Manufacturing Launches in Driouch with Over $675 Million Investment
On Tuesday, October 14, the “Batouia” free zone in the municipality of Amjoud in Driouch province witnessed a significant economic event with the official launch of construction work for one of the largest industrial complexes dedicated to tire manufacturing in Morocco.
This project is being implemented by the Chinese group Shandong Yongsheng Rubber, through its local subsidiary GOLDENSUN TIRE MOROCCO Co., Ltd, with a total investment exceeding $675 million.
The complex will span an area of 52 hectares, located adjacent to the Nador West Med Port, providing it with a strategic position that offers direct access to European and African markets, establishing Driouch as a pivotal player in the new industrial dynamics of the eastern region.
Various local news outlets reported this announcement, highlighting the project’s importance in enhancing regional economic development and supporting Moroccan-Chinese industrial cooperation.
The industrial complex is expected to provide approximately 1,737 direct jobs, along with hundreds of indirect jobs during the construction and operational phases. It will also contribute to the transfer of advanced technologies to Morocco by establishing dedicated research and development (R&D) units.
The project features a fully integrated car tire manufacturing plant meeting international standards, alongside industrial research centers and modern logistics infrastructure aimed at exporting to global markets.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in early 2027, marking a new phase in the national industrial development strategy. This project is anticipated to become a true economic driver for the eastern region and to enhance Morocco’s attractiveness to foreign investors, creating new job opportunities for residents of Driouch and Nador.
