LGMC, a subsidiary of Mutandis Group, is set to launch its new factory in Dakhla by 2025, reinforcing its strategy to maximize the use of marine resources and minimize raw material waste from sardine processing.
The facility will convert production residues into hydrolysates, high-value products used in agriculture, cosmetics, and animal nutrition. This innovative approach will not only reduce industrial waste but also create new revenue streams and promote a circular economy within the fishing industry.
For years, LGMC has transformed challenges into opportunities, focusing on better utilization of byproducts from the canning industry. The Dakhla plant exemplifies this strategy, offering a sustainable alternative to industrial waste management while expanding the company’s market reach.
The project is backed by significant investments. In 2023, LGMC increased its capital by 36.5 million dirhams, reinforcing its development potential. A year later, an additional 261 million dirhams was invested to complete the factory’s construction and modernize the group’s infrastructure.
With this new facility, LGMC expands its industrial footprint, complementing its existing production sites, including three factories in Berrechid specializing in liquid detergents, personal hygiene products, and beverages. The Dakhla site will diversify the group’s activities, ensuring optimal resource utilization in the region.
Dakhla’s strategic location played a key role in selecting the site. The region boasts abundant marine resources, a logistically advantageous position, and a strong potential for the sardine hydrolysate market. By establishing operations close to raw material sources, LGMC aims to reduce costs and fully capitalize on this growing industry.
