A New Model for Industrial Development
In December 2025, Morocco inaugurated Logintek, the first fully private, integrated industrial and logistics zone in the country — a milestone in the evolution of industrial zones. Located at Sidi Aïdi in the Settat province (Casablanca-Settat region), it is designed to be both a production hub and a comprehensive ecosystem supporting logistics, services, and innovation.
Covering 123 hectares, Logintek combines land for manufacturing, advanced logistics, administrative services, and complementary facilities like a dry port, data center, and services for workers and investors.
Latest Developments (2025–2026)
Official Launch & First Phase Investment
Logintek was launched in late 2025 by Zinafrik Développement, with the first tranche attracting investments amounting to 2.3 billion dirhams.
This initial phase has seen rapid uptake of space, with approximately 50% of the zone already commercialized among international and regional companies from countries such as Spain, South Korea, France, Austria, Switzerland, Russia, Egypt, and Morocco.
South Korean SEOUL Factory Project
One of the earliest industrial commitments within Logintek is from SEOUL — a South Korean company producing eco-friendly straw products. Construction of their manufacturing facility is advancing quickly, with approximately 300 direct jobs expected once operational, and hundreds more indirectly through suppliers and logistics services.
This factory represents a significant vote of confidence from foreign industrial investors and underscores Logintek’s strategic positioning as a gateway to global markets.
Strategic Features & Competitive Edge
Integrated Infrastructure
Logintek’s design goes beyond traditional industrial parks by integrating:
- A customs-enabled dry port to streamline import/export procedures,
- Multimodal logistics links to major transport corridors and the Casablanca port,
- Support services including administrative desks, banking, and duty-related facilitation,
- Residential and commercial services that improve the quality of life for workers and visitors.
This makes Logintek a one-stop industrial ecosystem — attractive for large companies, SMEs, and startups alike.
Logistics and Market Access
Situated about 30 km from Mohammed V International Airport and 50 km from the Port of Casablanca, Logintek benefits from excellent connectivity by road, rail, and air. These logistics advantages strengthen the zone’s ability to serve not only domestic demand but also international export markets.
Impact on Jobs, Economy & Regional Development
Logintek’s inauguration is expected to generate:
- 12,000–15,000 direct jobs over the full rollout,
- Thousands of indirect jobs in logistics, supply chains, support services, and the broader economy.
The zone’s contribution to regional development is significant: it fosters industrial decentralization, shifts investment away from highly concentrated urban centers, and strengthens Casablanca-Settat’s role as an economic powerhouse.
Challenges & Future Prospects
As a pioneering private industrial hub, some key considerations include:
- Balancing rapid growth with sustainable urban planning,
- Ensuring that the regulatory and administrative framework remains investor-friendly,
- Aligning workforce training programs with the skills demanded by industrial tenants.
Overall, Logintek may become a model for future private industrial parks in Africa, encouraging further innovation in how industrial infrastructure is developed and managed.
Conclusion
Logintek represents a new paradigm in Morocco’s industrial landscape — one where private capital drives a comprehensive, integrated industrial ecosystem. The success of its first phase and early commitments from global companies signal that Morocco’s industrial strategy is evolving toward world-class, investor-centric infrastructure.
