DIMATIT, a prominent industrial subsidiary of the INA group specializing in the manufacturing of pipes, tubes, and films for Morocco's agricultural and industrial sectors, has unveiled an ambitious multi-million-dirham expansion strategy. As part of its 85th-anniversary celebrations, the company has committed to investing approximately 300 million dirhams ($30 million USD equivalent) by 2030. This robust financial injection is designed to dramatically upgrade technological capabilities, modernize industrial equipment, expand product portfolios, and generate over 150 high-skilled direct jobs across the Kingdom.
Strategic Modernization in Mohammedia and Kenitra
The comprehensive investment roadmap kicked off in 2026 with an initial tranche of 150 million dirhams dedicated to acquiring state-of-the-art machinery for DIMATIT’s flagship production facilities located in Mohammedia and Kenitra. These cutting-edge technological enhancements are targeted directly at bolstering the production of high-performance piping solutions for drinking water supply networks and municipal sanitation infrastructure across Morocco.
Demonstrating its commitment to national industrial sovereignty and technological advancement, DIMATIT has successfully scaled up manufacturing specifications. The company has increased the maximum diameter of its PVC-U pipes to 630 mm and polyethylene pipes to 400 mm, engineered to handle a nominal pressure of 25 bars. Furthermore, the installation of an advanced production line at the Kenitra industrial site has doubled the company's manufacturing capacity for high-density polyethylene double-wall pipes, directly supporting the rapid expansion of sanitation networks throughout Morocco.
Supporting National Agriculture and Water Security
Beyond municipal water management, a significant portion of DIMATIT's capital expenditure is channeled into cutting-edge agricultural solutions. The company is establishing a specialized production line dedicated to three-layer agricultural films, alongside a dedicated facility for advanced packaging films. In line with Morocco's national sustainability and circular economy goals, the industrial strategy also incorporates advanced plastic recycling equipment to minimize environmental footprint and promote green manufacturing practices.
Managing Director Tarek Boukhriss emphasized that these substantial investments will firmly consolidate DIMATIT’s industrial foundation. By fostering the design and fabrication of homegrown technical solutions, the company aims to actively substitute imported goods with superior Moroccan-made alternatives while simultaneously boosting national export capacities to regional markets.
A Legacy of Contributing to Royal Megaprojects
Founded in 1941, DIMATIT boasts an illustrious 85-year history deeply intertwined with the economic development of Morocco. Currently employing over 450 professionals distributed across three major production plants and multiple commercial offices, the company has been a trusted industrial partner in some of the Kingdom’s most transformative national infrastructure milestones.
Over the decades, DIMATIT has played an instrumental role in executing strategic state projects, including large-scale drinking water supply initiatives along the vital Ouarzazate–Skoura axis and supplying critical components for the pioneering Tangier–Kenitra high-speed rail (LGV) line. Additionally, the company has provided foundational industrial backing for the explosive growth of greenhouse farming and modern irrigation systems throughout the fertile Souss-Massa region, reinforcing Morocco's status as an agricultural powerhouse in North Africa.
