Groupe PSA organized on Tuesday, September 4th, 2018, in presence of Mr. Moulay Hafid El Alamy, Minister of Industry, Investment, Trade and Digital Economy of the Kingdom of Morocco, and Mr. Jean Christophe Quémard, Executive Vice President of the Middle East and Africa region and member of the Executive Board within Groupe PSA, a press conference at the group’s plant in Kenitra.

Given the success of its products worldwide and in the Middle East and Africa region, Groupe PSA has decided to double the capacity of its Kenitra plant and increase it to 200,000 vh / year by 2020. This additional capacity will be a key factor in accelerating the development of the group's ecosystem in Morocco.

A diversified suppliers is setting up in Morocco, local integration is developing, the local sourcing volume is growing and an R & D ecosystem is being built. " Said Mr. the Minister, adding that "the project is a real locomotive for the development of an industry that is performing very well".
