Agadir – La Voie Express Group, a subsidiary of the H&S Group, is set to invest MAD 100 million (approximately $10.7 million) to establish a new logistics platform in Lqliaa, situated to the south of Agadir. This strategic investment is part of the group’s initiative to broaden its logistics network throughout Morocco, reinforcing its commitment to enhancing supply chain capabilities across the nation.
In a press release issued on Friday, the group announced that it has signed an agreement with the Moroccan Logistics Development Agency (AMDL) to secure a 25,000-square-meter plot within the Lqliaa Logistics Zone. This new facility will mark the company’s second logistics site in the Agadir region, further solidifying its operational footprint in this vital area.
Comprehensive Logistics Services at One Location
The upcoming logistics platform is designed to incorporate a range of services, including warehousing, order preparation, value-added logistics services, transportation, and regional distribution. By offering these services under one roof, La Voie Express aims to cater to the diverse needs of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. This initiative is particularly significant for the Souss-Massa region, which is characterized by robust agricultural, fishing, commercial, and distribution activities. The group emphasized that this investment will not only streamline the movement of goods but also generate approximately 100 direct and indirect job opportunities, contributing to local economic development.
Enhancing Morocco's Logistics Infrastructure
The Lqliaa Logistics Zone, strategically located south of Agadir, is a crucial component of Morocco’s broader efforts to develop its logistics infrastructure. The initial phase of this project spans 45 hectares and features designated plots for warehousing, along with a truck terminal capable of accommodating 200 vehicles. This initiative is part of the AMDL’s comprehensive program aimed at expanding logistics zones across various regions and bolstering infrastructure outside Morocco’s primary economic centers. Ultimately, the zone is projected to handle up to 2 million tons of goods on an annual basis, enhancing the overall logistics capacity of the region.
The investment in Lqliaa is a vital element of La Voie Express Group’s expansive strategy to establish a network of regional logistics platforms. The group already operates facilities in Oujda, Nador, Tangier, and Khouribga, as well as the Casa Hub and Lakhyayta Hub. This new development will significantly enhance its presence in southern Morocco, reinforcing the company’s goal of constructing a comprehensive logistics network that is strategically located near key production and consumption areas throughout the country. The group expressed pride in this investment, highlighting the strategic importance of Agadir and the Souss-Massa region in the national economy. They affirmed their commitment to developing a modern logistics platform that will serve businesses and support regional growth.
