AP Moller Capital Expands Its Footprint in Morocco

In a strategic move to enhance its presence within the Moroccan logistics sector, AP Moller Capital, the Danish investment firm, has successfully acquired a majority stake in Globex, a prominent logistics company founded by Omar El Kadiri. While the exact financial details of the transaction remain undisclosed, this acquisition is expected to bolster AP Moller Capital's operations in Morocco significantly. The deal is being facilitated through its Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund II and APM Capital Morocco Fund, reflecting the company's growing commitment to investing in the region.

Strategic Partnership for Sustainable Growth

Omar El Kadiri, who will continue to lead Globex as its chief executive, is set to play a vital role in steering the company towards sustainable growth and long-term value creation. AP Moller Capital has expressed confidence that El Kadiri's expertise will be instrumental in navigating the company through its next phase of expansion. This acquisition aligns with AP Moller Capital's broader strategy, which aims to tap into Morocco's burgeoning transport sector, particularly in light of the Mohammed VI Investment Fund's initiatives to stimulate investment, enhance economic growth, and create job opportunities. With a substantial amount of funding secured, including $243 million available after a recent funding round and an additional MAD 600 million (approximately $65 million), AP Moller Capital is well-positioned to support and nurture its new investment in Globex.

The Danish firm has previously established a solid track record in Morocco, with successful investments in transport, logistics, and energy infrastructure. Notably, their involvement with the grain terminal operator Mass Cereales Al Maghreb was a significant achievement, culminating in a full exit in 2025, alongside other port-related projects aimed at supporting the country's energy transition. As AP Moller Capital continues to build its portfolio, the acquisition of Globex is a testament to its strategic vision for the Moroccan market, which is rapidly emerging as a key logistics hub within North Africa.
