Where should you be as an entrepreneur in Morocco to really seize opportunities?
Morocco is easy for entrepreneurs to understand as “Morocco’s G7”: 7 core regions, each with its own trade logic. In the north you’ll find Tangier–Tetouan as the export and industrial gateway, and Nador/Oriental as a trade bridge with strong diaspora networks. Moving toward the center, Rabat–Salé–Kénitra provides policy, compliance and business certainty, while Casablanca–Settat is the commercial engine for scale, distribution and B2B deals. Further inland, Fès–Meknès offers craftsmanship and agro with strong origin stories, Marrakech/Middle Atlas runs on lifestyle, design and experience, and Souss–Massa (Agadir) is an export machine for agro, fish and processing with EU quality in its DNA.

When is Morocco a good fit — and when is it not — for entrepreneurs?
Morocco offers interesting opportunities for entrepreneurs, but it is not automatically the best choice. In this blog you will read when doing business in Morocco makes sense — and when other markets may better match your strategy, scale and risk appetite.

Professional importing from Morocco
Importing Moroccan products into the Netherlands offers many opportunities for entrepreneurs, but it also comes with obligations. Think import duties, VAT, rules of origin, HS codes, and the right documentation. Thanks to the EU association agreement with Morocco, many products can be imported at reduced or 0% duties, provided this is proven correctly. Good preparation, reliable suppliers, and knowledge of customs procedures are essential to avoid delays and extra costs.

Plastics and composites in Morocco from raw material to application

Blogs about plastics and composites in production and applications. Here you will find, among other things: material selection, properties and quality control; production processes, tooling and finishing; applications in industry, construction, interior and consumer goods.

Why this category exists

Plastics and composites are present in everyday life as well as in heavy industry. They make products lighter, stronger, more durable, or better resistant to moisture, heat and corrosion. In Morocco you encounter these materials in manufacturing, construction, interiors, infrastructure and consumer goods. In this category we describe what is happening within this sector and which themes you can expect in our blogs, without a sales story and without recommending companies.

What you can expect in this blog category

The articles in this category are intended as overview and depth: how is plastic processed, what choices do producers make, how is quality safeguarded, and which applications do you see in Morocco within an international B2B chain? We write about practical questions that arise in production, sourcing, engineering and management, with attention to safety, environmental requirements and certifications.

Material selection and properties that make the difference

Not every plastic behaves the same. Choosing a material is often a balance between strength, weight, flexibility, UV resistance, temperature range and chemical resistance. In our blogs we explain how those properties are assessed in practice and what role standards, test methods and quality control play when components or finished products receive a B2B application.

  • Properties: wear resistance, stiffness, toughness and ageing
  • Quality control: measurements, tolerances, batch traceability
  • Application requirements: indoors, outdoors, water, heat or chemical exposure

Plastic processing in every aspect

From pellets to finished product: the route is often technical as well as process-driven. We cover production processes such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and thermoforming, as well as post-processing such as welding, bonding, coating and machining. Tooling is key: molds, dies and fixtures determine not only the shape, but also repeatability, output and unit cost in series production.

  • Process choices: speed, thermal control, shrinkage and warpage
  • Tooling: mold design, maintenance, wear and consistency
  • Finishing: surface texture, color, UV stabilization and coating

Resins and composites: layers, fibers and performance

Composites combine materials to enhance properties: think fiber reinforcement, laminate build-up and resin systems. We write about processing resins, curing, safety around fumes and dust, and why process discipline is so important in composite work. We also cover how quality assurance works in laminating, vacuum techniques and repair or restoration of parts.

  • Resin systems and curing: time, temperature and consistency
  • Safety: ventilation, PPE, handling dust and solvents
  • Quality: preventing delamination, adhesion, lay-up and inspection

Chemical substances, safety and responsible management

Plastics and composite production often involves chemical components: additives, cleaners, adhesives, resins and coatings. In this category we pay attention to safe work, storage and labeling, training and procedures. We also look at practical implementation: how companies set up their workshop and processes to reduce risks and keep quality consistent.

  • Work safety: procedures, PPE, ventilation and incident prevention
  • Storage and logistics: separation of substances, temperature and shelf life
  • Process discipline: mixing ratios, records and control points

Environmental requirements, circularity and certifications

Worldwide, the sector is under pressure to handle raw materials and waste streams more intelligently. We describe how environmental requirements influence material selection, production and recycling, and what role certifications and documentation play in B2B chains. Think of origin information, composition, conformity and demonstrating quality and safety. We also pay attention to practical waste separation, regrind, reuse and design choices that make disassembly and recycling easier.

Topics you can expect blogs about

  • Practical explanation of material selection and application requirements
  • Production processes, tooling, maintenance and quality control
  • Processing resins and composites, including safety aspects
  • Environmental requirements, circularity and documentation in international B2B
  • Standards, certifications and traceability within chains involving Morocco

Improvements in the sector and what it can offer

In Morocco, as elsewhere, you see a development toward better process control, more attention to safety, and a growing need for reliable quality assurance. This category follows how companies and projects take steps: from more efficient tooling and tighter maintenance to clear documentation and better training on the shop floor. This increases the ability to deliver consistently, reduce risks and make applications more broadly deployable within international B2B cooperation.

In conclusion

This category is about registration and insight: what is happening in Morocco around plastics and composites, how production and applications are developing, and which themes are important for B2B. You will not find promotion here, but an accessible foundation that helps understand the sector and follow developments.
