Midparc Nouaceur Expands on Aerospace Demand

Together, those projects represent several billion dirhams of investment and are expected to create several hundred skilled jobs over time. The LEAP engine is used on a large share of new narrow-body jets from Airbus, Boeing and China’s Comac, making the Moroccan site part of a global supply chain tied to aircraft production and aftermarket services.

Midparc’s expansion also reflects a deeper industrial pull. The park, which now covers more than 125 hectares, says requests to locate there are running at almost three times the usual level, driven by Safran, Airbus, Pratt & Whitney and planned expansions by Hexcel and Eaton, as well as the prospect of a Boeing subcontracting ecosystem in Morocco. An additional 44 hectares is being considered to absorb demand that is increasingly focused on higher-value activities.

For investors, the story is about capacity, execution and ecosystem depth. Midparc’s model — letting large groups build in full ownership while developing units for subcontractors on long leases — gives it a faster way to fill space and reduce time to production, a crucial advantage in aerospace where delays can be costly and customers want rapid ramp-up. The adjacent Institute of Aeronautical Trades also helps convert local training into factory staffing, improving the park’s appeal to multinationals.

That combination puts Casablanca’s aerospace platform in a stronger position to compete for new mandates as global aircraft makers and suppliers seek additional manufacturing resilience outside traditional hubs. The next catalyst is whether Midparc secures the planned extension and lands the next wave of supplier investments that would turn current demand into a larger industrial cluster.
