Managing Director of Dislog Group, a life-economy industrial operator and brand developer that has made logistics an integral part of its business model, Mehdi Bouamrani points out that "a lot of space is available in industrial zones, such as in Aïn Sebaâ-Casablanca, but hasn't been used since the 1970s. They could potentially have been used for logistics projects. But this was not allowed. An aberration. So we fell back on the hinterland of the cities to find land".
"What's urgent is the identification of the land, the preparation of plans and authorizations, which can also take time. The investment itself is incompressible. It takes between 12 and 18 months. The speed with which the various stakeholders get involved will determine our ability to keep pace with the major projects that await us between now and 2030", says Mehdi Bouamrani. Extract.
