Bombardier Aerospace has signed an agreement with Midparc Investment S.A., a Moroccan property holding and management company, to purchase land required for its new plant in the Midparc Casablanca Free Zone, in Nouaceur.
Bombardier intends to invest approximately USD 200 million in equipment, buildings and start-up costs over the next eight years. Construction of the facility will take place in phases starting in 2012.
Capabilities at the new plant, which will complement Bombardier Aerospace’s existing manufacturing sites, will initially include sub-assembly for simple structures. Details on the type of components to be manufactured are being finalized.
