German group Scherdel, specializing in the manufacture of high-precision metal components, notably for the automotive industry, is exploring opportunities for establishing and developing its activities in Tunisia.
A delegation from the group conducted an exploratory visit to the country on January 27, 2026, to assess investment possibilities.
They were received by FIPA Tunisia (Foreign Investment Promotion Agency), the official agency responsible for promoting foreign investment in Tunisia.
According to a FIPA statement, this mission was initiated by AHK Tunesien (Tunisian-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce).
The German group aims to concretely evaluate Tunisia’s economic environment, the availability and quality of local skills, as well as the framework of incentives and benefits offered to foreign investors.
Following this visit, Scherdel expressed interest in continuing discussions for a potential establishment in Tunisia, paving the way for future collaborations that could generate added value and jobs.
However, the statement does not specify the exact nature of the planned project nor the potential investment volume.
The Scherdel Group is an industrial manufacturer specialized in metal processing and the production of technical parts for the automotive, energy, and other precision industries.
Having been present on the market for over 130 years, it has established itself as one of the world’s leading players in the manufacture of technical springs, stamped parts, and formed parts for the automotive and mechanical industries.
With consolidated revenue approaching 880 million euros and nearly 6,800 employees spread across around thirty sites in about a dozen countries, the core of its expertise lies in precision metallurgy.
Scherdel designs and manufactures technical springs, stamped and bent components, as well as assembly modules that are now integrated into approximately 80% of passenger and commercial vehicles produced worldwide.
The group is expanding its capabilities to other industrial sectors such as medical technology (technical parts for medical devices), electrical and energy engineering, mechanical construction and industrial tooling, and complex surface and assembly systems.
Its geographical presence is structured around production and research sites in Europe (Germany, France, Portugal, Czech Republic, Slovakia), the Americas (Brazil, Mexico, United States), and Asia (China, India, Japan).
Currently, the group is interested in emerging markets like Tunisia, where it wishes to assess local industrial potential, skill quality, and investment incentives as part of its strategy to expand its global manufacturing base.
