The Chinese group Tinci Materials, a global leader in chemical components for lithium-ion batteries, has just officially announced a significant investment in Morocco. Amounting to approximately 2.8 billion dirhams (280 million dollars), this project plans to establish a state-of-the-art industrial unit in the Jorf Lasfar area, near El Jadida. This site will produce electrolytes and other essential materials for the manufacture of electric batteries, a key sector in the transition to sustainable mobility.
With an annual capacity of 150,000 tons, the future factory will notably produce lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), a highly technical component essential for rechargeable batteries. This project reinforces Morocco’s ambition to establish itself in the global value chain of electric vehicles, supported by strategic investments that create value.
The partnership signed on June 11, 2025, between Tinci and Moroccan authorities is part of a co-development approach. The Moroccan state will support the project through incentive measures while conditioning its support on compliance with strict standards regarding industrial, environmental, and social impact.
The choice of Morocco is not random. Its privileged geographical location, at the crossroads of European, African, and Middle Eastern markets, coupled with a proactive policy in favor of green industrialization, makes it an attractive hub for international investors. For Tinci Materials, already active in the recycling of LFP batteries and the production of LiPF6, this establishment represents a strategic step in strengthening its global presence.
This new investment will bring significant economic and social benefits: the creation of hundreds of jobs, the transfer of skills, and the upskilling of the local workforce. The site is also expected to stimulate the emergence of a regional industrial fabric around fine chemistry and battery technology.
This project adds to a series of similar initiatives led by international groups convinced of Morocco’s potential in energy storage technologies. It also reflects the growing confidence of Chinese companies in the stability and reliability of the Moroccan business climate, in a global context of reorganization of supply chains.
With this new advancement, the Kingdom confirms its position as a future industrial hub for electric mobility, ready to play a central role in the global energy transition.
