Trelleborg Sealing Solutions Aerospace (Trelleborg) has opened a new 5,000 m² production facility in Casablanca, Morocco, strengthening its capacity to support growing global demand in the aerospace sector.
Located in the Midparc Industrial Freezone near Mohammed V International Airport, the site provides a local manufacturing presence for customers while increasing the company’s global production capabilities. The investment is expected to create 150 to 200 skilled jobs and further enhance Morocco’s position within the global aerospace supply chain.
Gordon Roper, President of Trelleborg’s Global Aerospace business, said Casablanca has become a major aerospace hub and noted that Trelleborg is the first company in Morocco to manufacture polymer seals for aerospace applications. He highlighted the country’s growing role in the global aerospace value chain and the strategic importance of locating within Casablanca’s established aerospace ecosystem.
The facility also includes an advanced materials laboratory to support testing and development for Trelleborg’s global aerospace operations. To develop local talent, the company will partner with the Moroccan Aerospace Training Center (IMA) to provide specialised training and create a pipeline of qualified employees. Trelleborg said the majority of management positions will eventually be held by Moroccan nationals, underlining its long-term commitment to the country.
