Morocco: Alstom will build a new production line in Morocco in order to manufacture on-board transformers in-country.

The investment, valued at $11.83 M (€10.5 M), will introduce a second production line at Alstom’s Fez-based facility that will have the capacity to produce up to 200 transformers each year.

The site currently produces harnesses and electrical cabinets for the rail industry, and the new line is scheduled to go operational in 2023.

“We are excited to bring a new production capability in Morocco, specialising in on-board transformers for our rolling stock. This new investment demonstrates Alstom’s commitment to strengthening its ties with Morocco,” said Nourddine Rhalmi, Managing Director of Alstom Morocco.

Alstom SA is a French multinational rolling stock manufacturer operating worldwide in rail transport markets, active in the fields of passenger transportation, signalling, and locomotives.
