Norwegian paint manufacturer Jotun is investing 100 million Moroccan Dirhams (approximately $10 million USD) in a new manufacturing facility in the Casablanca-Settat region of Morocco. The project aims to bolster the local chemical industry and integrate more Moroccan suppliers into Jotun’s supply chain. Production will focus on locally manufacturing a portion of the company’s coating products. Jotun anticipates the facility will directly create 60 jobs by 2030. This investment signifies a commitment to expanding Jotun’s presence in the Moroccan market and contributing to the country’s economic growth. The factory is expected to strengthen Morocco’s position as a regional manufacturing hub. Further details were initially reported by Médias24, a leading Moroccan economic news source.
