Driving Tangier's industrial future since 1990
Learn how AZIT has shaped a modern, sustainable industrial zone in Tangier — from our founding in 1990 to the projects driving our future.
Three decades of industrial progress
The Association of the Tangier Industrial Zone (AZIT) was founded in 1990 at the initiative of manufacturers established in the Mghogha industrial zone, on the Tetouan road.
It was created against a backdrop of infrastructure shortfalls, difficulties managing basic services (roads, security, cleanliness), and a growing need for coordination among economic stakeholders. Faced with these challenges, the industrial companies organized into an association to pool their efforts, defend their common interests, and actively improve their working environment.
Since its founding, AZIT has pursued a sustainable-development approach, actively driving the zone's evolution into a modern, attractive, and competitive industrial park.

On the Tetouan road, minutes from Tanger Med
The Mghogha industrial zone, managed by AZIT, is located in Tangier on the Tetouan road — a strategic corridor linking the region's main economic hubs.

AZIT's headquarters sits within the zone itself, enabling close, responsive management of members' needs.
