China’s Sunrise Group will invest 2.3 billion dirhams (~$240 million) to build two textile plants in Morocco, the Moroccan government recently announced after signing the deal related to the projects in Rabat.

The plants in Fez and Skhirate, near Rabat, will be Sunrise's first manufacturing sites in Morocco, and are expected to create 7,000 direct jobs and over 1,500 indirect jobs.

They will produce yarn, fabrics and apparel to help Moroccan manufacturers reduce delays and logistical costs and meet international orders without intermediaries, the country’s prime minister's office said in a statement. The projects will also help build an integrated supply chain.

Morocco exports most of its textile products to Europe.

The government further said that the initiative aligns with Morocco’s broader strategy to develop its industrial sector and strengthen its position as a regional leader in textile manufacturing, according to domestic media reports.
