A new strategic agreement between Boeing and Figeac Aéro's Moroccan subsidiary, Casablanca Aéronautique, strengthens local production of parts for the 737 MAX program and consolidates a high-level national aeronautical ecosystem.

On June 16, 2025, Boeing signed an agreement with Casablanca Aéronautique—the Moroccan subsidiary of the French group Figeac Aéro—to produce machined structural parts for the 737 MAX program. This commitment is a continuation of the initial agreement signed in 2016 with the Moroccan authorities. Boeing aims to sustainably anchor its supply chains in the kingdom, thus strengthening its regional presence.

The Nouaceur plant, with its 900 employees, covers machining, sheet metal, surface treatment, and assembly. Thanks to its advanced industrial capabilities, this site is becoming a strategic supplier for Boeing, aligning local production with international quality requirements.

According to Emily Belgrade, vice president at Boeing, this partnership illustrates the desire to build a “robust aeronautical ecosystem in Morocco”. Boeing is investing several million dollars to support the development of the skills and infrastructure needed for the long term. The site is already establishing itself as a key player in the global aerospace production chain.

Maurice Herbelin, CEO of Casablanca Aéronautique, emphasizes that this agreement confirms the group's growth momentum. Jean-Claude Maillard, CEO of Figeac Aéro, points out that the agreement is part of the Pilot 28 strategy, which focuses on balancing global coverage and local presence, while strengthening the group's presence in Morocco and elsewhere.
