Morocco
Tangier was a strategic location in the world trade network, since it has functioned as the “gateway to Africa” from ancient times
The proximity of the Iberian Peninsula and the Strait of Gibraltar makes this Moroccan city an extremely important enclave in the global business structure. Additionally, the economic development that has occurred in recent years has made Tangier one of the main industrial hubs in Morocco.
For these reasons, Exlabesa has chosen a location just 20 kilometers from Tangier to establish manufacturing center for the supply of aluminum systems designed for architecture to the North and West African markets.
