Chinese automotive components maker Jiangsu Yunyi Electric plans to invest US$66 million to build a wholly owned manufacturing plant in Morocco, the company said, as Chinese suppliers expand their footprint in North Africa to serve Western markets.
In a statement published on December 30, the company said its board had approved the establishment of a subsidiary in Morocco to support its global expansion strategy.
Jiangsu Yunyi said the project would enable it to set up a production base, strengthen overseas operations and build integrated global delivery capabilities, while supporting its long-term growth.
The company added that it aims to leverage local resources and industrial synergies through deeper cross-border cooperation.
Founded in 2022, Jiangsu Yunyi Electric manufactures automotive electronic components, including alternator rectifiers, voltage regulators, semiconductors, nitrogen oxide sensors, lambda sensors and precision injection parts.
Morocco has increasingly attracted Chinese automotive and battery manufacturers seeking closer access to European and US markets, supported by the country’s free trade agreements with both regions.
Recent Chinese investors include Gotion High Tech, Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology and BTR New Material Group.
The North African country also offers a skilled workforce and well-developed logistics infrastructure, particularly at its ports, which have helped support a growing automotive ecosystem.
