Multinational automaker Stellantis has opened its first vehicle dismantling center for the Middle East and Africa in Casablanca, reinforcing Morocco’s growing position as a major automotive hub. The $1.9 million facility can process up to 10,000 end-of-life vehicles annually and is expected to create about 150 jobs. The center forms part of Stellantis’ circular economy strategy, which focuses on recovering and reselling reusable vehicle parts through its after-sales platforms. The launch comes as Morocco surpasses South Africa as Africa’s largest vehicle producer, helped by expanding manufacturing investments and stronger industrial infrastructure. Stellantis also plans to use the Casablanca center as a regional model for West African markets.
