The Algerian automotive industry is set to expand with the establishment of a new factory for the production of car parts. The company BOKS has obtained a land concession to build an industrial complex in the Tamzoura industrial zone, Ain Temouchent province. This project will focus on producing metal car body parts through cutting, stamping, and forming. The Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI) announced the development, stating that the concession contract was issued to facilitate the rapid implementation of this investment.
The new factory will be built on a one-hectare site and will specialize in producing key components for vehicle structures. The plant's product catalog will include the manufacture of vehicle roofs, door reinforcements and traverses, chassis floors, bumper traverses, and rear trunk floors. With an estimated annual production capacity of nearly 3 million units, the factory is expected to have a significant impact on the local industrial landscape. The project is also anticipated to create around 107 direct jobs during its operational phase.
This development aligns with Algeria's national roadmap to strengthen its network of subcontractors and expand its base of local companies capable of supplying assembly lines. The project is a strategic partnership established earlier in the year, with BOKS signing a major subcontracting agreement with the Stellantis group in February. Under this contract, BOKS will supply the FIAT factory in Oran with stamped metal parts.
For Stellantis, the goal is to gradually increase the national integration rate by reinforcing the local supplier network. The Tamazoura site will be a crucial link in this dynamic, enabling the reduction of component imports and establishing a strong automotive sector in the country. The factory's production will mainly focus on metal car body parts.
The AAPI's decision to grant the land concession is part of its efforts to promote investment and support economic growth in Algeria. The agency plays a vital role in facilitating the implementation of projects like BOKS' new factory, which is expected to contribute significantly to the country's automotive industry.
Algeria's automotive sector has been gaining momentum, with several investments and partnerships announced in recent times. The establishment of the new BOKS factory is a testament to the country's efforts to develop its local industry and reduce reliance on imports. The project is also expected to have a positive impact on the local economy, creating jobs and stimulating growth.
The new factory in Ain Temouchent province is set to become a key player in Algeria's automotive industry, producing essential components for vehicles and supporting the growth of the sector. With its focus on metal car body parts, the plant will help reduce imports and increase the country's industrial capacity.
