Group 1: Identity - Chinese companies are establishing operations in Morocco to maintain access to European markets, driven by the "China +1" strategy to mitigate risks associated with sourcing from China [11][12][17]. - The geographical proximity of Morocco to Europe, along with favorable trade policies, makes it an attractive location for manufacturing [14][15]. Group 2: Cost Structure - The construction costs in Morocco can be more than double those in China, with local standards leading to higher material costs [20][23]. - Maintenance and repair costs are significantly higher, with examples showing that simple repairs can cost ten times more than in China [25][27]. - Small components, such as screws, can be exorbitantly priced compared to domestic costs, necessitating the import of parts from China despite longer lead times [28][30]. Group 3: Standards - High levels of automation are being adopted in Moroccan factories to compensate for the lack of skilled labor, with some factories operating with significantly fewer workers than traditional setups [37][40]. - The reliance on machines is not only for efficiency but also to ensure stable production in the face of labor challenges [41][42]. Group 4: Adaptation - There is a notable difference in work ethic and reliability between local labor groups, with a preference for hiring Berber workers over Arab workers due to perceived differences in work attitudes [46][50]. - Companies often adopt a mixed hiring strategy, employing local workers for basic roles while retaining skilled Chinese workers for critical positions [51][52].
