Moroccan metallurgy and steel industry has experienced significant growth driven by the development of the automotive industry, construction and renewable energies. Maghreb Steel and Sonasid (ArcelorMittal) are the two pillars of steel production in Morocco, complemented by a dense network of traders and processors.
To choose a Moroccan metallurgical supplier, verify compliance certifications for steel products (EN, ASTM, NM). For the automotive industry, IATF 16949 certifications and specific requirements from OEMs (Ford, Renault, PSA) are essential. Heat traceability and material certificates are standard requirements.
Processing capability at the supplier (laser cutting, bending, welding, machining) is a major advantage reducing the number of players in the supply chain. Check available equipment and mastered tolerances.
The main Moroccan metallurgical centers are Casablanca (Ain Sebaâ, Sidi Bernoussi), Tangier (automotive industry), Jorf Lasfar and Nador for primary production. Aluminum is mainly processed in the Casablanca region.
