Karnawall Maroc, a textile company located in Skhirat, is undergoing a significant restructuring of its capital, which was recently solidified through the transfer of 195,306 shares to the Turkish group Eregli Tekstil. This development not only enhances the Turkish presence in the company's ownership but also aligns with a leadership change within the organization. The extraordinary general assembly that took place on February 20, 2026, ratified this share transfer, which involved three shareholders: Aras Alkan (holding 109,506 shares), Ekber Alkan (44,000 shares), and Mukadder Soyoren (41,800 shares). This move results in a corresponding modification of the company’s statutes, reflecting a broader trend of increasing Turkish investment in Karnawall Maroc.
Previously, in 2023, Eregli Tekstil made its initial entry into Karnawall's shareholder structure through a significant capital increase that doubled the company’s equity from 22 million MAD to nearly 44.9 million MAD. This capital restructuring attracted various Turkish investors, including members of the Albayrak family, and initiated a reorganization of the board of directors and governance. The recent share transfer marks a progressive withdrawal of historical shareholders, with Turkish investors, led by the Albayrak family and Eregli Tekstil, taking a more dominant role.
Leadership Transition and Future Prospects
In conjunction with the capital restructuring, Karnawall Maroc has also made strategic adjustments to its governance. The company has appointed Hugues Marle Jean d'Alès as the new head, succeeding Julien Jean-Michel Laforets. This leadership change signifies a new chapter in the company's operational strategy and reflects ongoing transformations that have been in motion for several years. Karnawall Maroc, operating from the former Legler complex, is part of a larger industrial initiative led by a Turkish group that is involved in the entire textile production chain, from spinning to manufacturing.
This restructuring and leadership transition are critical as they aim to enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of Karnawall Maroc in the textile industry, ensuring that it aligns with the evolving market dynamics and the interests of its investors. The focus on integrating Turkish management expertise and capital is expected to significantly influence the operational and strategic direction of the company, marking a pivotal moment in its corporate journey.
