Rachid Machou has been unanimously elected as the new President of the Moroccan Association for the Automobile Industry and Construction (AMICA). This decision was made during the Elective Ordinary General Assembly held last Friday in Tangier, marking a new chapter for one of the most critical institutions in Morocco’s booming automotive sector.

Alongside Machou, a newly elected board of directors, consisting of prominent industry leaders, will guide AMICA’s future initiatives.
