Moroccan industrial company DIMATIT, a subsidiary of the YNNA group, has announced a $300 million investment plan by 2030 to upgrade its industrial capabilities. The company, which specializes in canalization solutions and agricultural and industrial films, marked its 85th anniversary with the declaration. This strategic move aims to enhance DIMATIT's production capacities and product offerings.
DIMATIT has already allocated $150 million in 2026 to upgrade its sites in Mohammedia and Kénitra. The funds will be used to acquire new equipment and boost production capacities. This development is expected to create over 150 direct jobs by 2030. The investment plan covers various business areas, including the production of PVC and PEHD tubes.
In the canalization sector, DIMATIT plans to expand its PVC-U product line to diameters of up to 630 mm and its PE line to 400 mm with a nominal pressure of 25 bars. The company has also increased its production capacity for double-walled PEHD sewage pipes at its Kénitra site. Furthermore, DIMATIT will focus on agricultural activities and industrial films.
The investment program includes the development of new irrigation solutions and the installation of production lines for tricouche agricultural films and packaging films. DIMATIT will also acquire plastic recycling equipment. Additionally, the company is promoting its PVC products, such as SN8 class structured wall sewage pipes for demanding installation conditions.
Founded in 1941, DIMATIT operates in the water, sewage, irrigation, agriculture, and construction sectors. The company currently employs over 450 people across three production sites and markets a range of products, including PVC, PEHD, and PRV. DIMATIT's products have been used in several infrastructure projects, including water supply and high-speed rail lines.
DIMATIT's agricultural film range, DIMAFILM, is used for greenhouse cultivation in the Souss-Massa region. The company's director general, Tarik Boukhris, emphasized that the investments aim to modernize the industrial setup, develop new solutions, and meet national market demands. He also highlighted the importance of industrial sovereignty in sectors like water, agriculture, and infrastructure.
The investment plan is expected to strengthen DIMATIT's contribution to local production and the "Made in Morocco" initiative. By pursuing the development of solutions manufactured in Morocco, the company aims to reinforce its position in the market and support the country's industrial growth.
