Tunisia: German mechatronics specialist Marquardt opens new plant in El Fejja

German company Marquardt has announced the opening of a new factory in El Fejja.

According to the mechatronics specialist, production of user interfaces for the interiors of top-of-the-range vehicles has begun at the site.

Marquardt has invested more than €50 million in buildings, machinery and equipment.

The company plans to create a further 1,500 jobs for engineers, technicians and production staff in El Fejja by the end of the decade.

Marquardt has been present in Tunisia since 1991. The company opened its first production facility in the country in 2014.

The factory in Al Agba, near Tunis, initially produced switches for power tools and standard switches, for example for household appliances.

Today, the focus is on mechatronic parts for building and air-conditioning technology, cleaning equipment, off-road and high-end vehicles and industrial applications.

But investments have also been made in Germany. Two weeks ago, Marquardt opened a new plant for battery management systems at the Erfurter Kreuz. The total investment is in the hundreds of millions of euros.
