On 24 September 2026, Algerian Prime Minister, Mr. Siavi Grib, inaugurated a new car part factory, General Plastics Injection, in Tissemsilt province. The factory, which was previously halted, has been revived as part of the government's efforts to reactivate stalled projects and combat corruption. The Prime Minister emphasized that the project aligns with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's directives to revive and transform confiscated projects into productive units.
The General Plastics Injection factory, located in the Sidi Mansour area of Tissemsilt, will produce plastic car parts with an initial capacity of 12,500 pieces. The Prime Minister highlighted that this project marks a significant step in developing Algeria's car part industry, allowing for the local production of various plastic components. He encouraged Algerian car manufacturers to increase local integration and reduce reliance on imported parts.
The factory was previously stalled but has been revived in under five months, thanks to the efforts of workers, engineers, and other stakeholders. The Prime Minister praised the young workforce from Tissemsilt for their role in restarting the factory and mastering the necessary equipment and technology. He emphasized that building qualified technical skills is crucial for developing Algeria's industry.
The Prime Minister also stressed the importance of localizing the production of car part molds, which are currently imported. He set a goal for the end of 2026 to achieve significant progress in this area and announced that the government will work to address technical issues related to mold production. The aim is to create a sustainable industry rather than just assembling parts with limited added value.
The government plans to reactivate other stalled projects as part of its efforts to combat corruption and promote economic development. The Prime Minister revealed that several new projects will be launched in the coming period, which will contribute to creating value-added jobs, reducing import bills, and supporting economic growth across various regions of Algeria.
The Prime Minister thanked the workers, engineers, and other stakeholders involved in the project, including the Asyas group and other partners. He emphasized that building a strong national economy requires the collective efforts of all stakeholders, including state institutions, economic operators, and national skills.
The launch of the General Plastics Injection factory is part of Algeria's broader strategy to develop its automotive industry and reduce dependence on imports. The government aims to increase local integration and create a more sustainable industry that can compete globally.
