Aerospace Production Relocates from Slovakia to Morocco
What happened
A Chinese aerospace components manufacturer is relocating a planned production base from Košice, Slovakia, to Morocco. The company scrapped the Slovak project after Slovak authorities introduced additional administrative review procedures, which created uncertainty around the timeline. The new facility in Morocco, located in Mohammed VI Tangier Tech City, will include a forging production line and is slated to receive up to €105 million in investment.

Why it matters
This relocation strengthens Morocco's position in the aerospace industry, which is already attracting foreign investment to establish manufacturing facilities. The move supports Morocco's efforts to expand its industrial base and integrate into global supply chains.
Morocco is attracting foreign aerospace investment by establishing a landing gear factory in Casablanca, strengthening its position in Boeing's supplier network.
