SPE Capital Partners has finalized its strategic investment in Dislog Group, Morocco’s leader in distribution and logistics. With approval from the Competition Council, the transaction, valued at MAD 450 million, was completed through SPE Capital’s AIF I fund, which contributed MAD 350 million, alongside a co-investment of MAD 100 million from an international financial institution.
This partnership marks a pivotal step in Dislog Group’s journey to solidify its market leadership while pursuing national and international expansion. Nabil Triki, Managing Partner and CEO of SPE Capital, expressed enthusiasm about the renewed collaboration:
“We are delighted to invest alongside our partner in Dislog Group. Having been shareholders in H&S between 2019 and 2021, we’ve witnessed the group’s impressive growth and evolution. Together, we aim to achieve a successful IPO on the Casablanca Stock Exchange within the next two to three years.”
Moncef Belkhayat, CEO of Dislog Group, shared his confidence in the partnership: “I am pleased to see the level of trust Dislog Group has built with investment funds and international financial institutions. Thanks to the dedication of our management and teams, the group continues to strengthen its governance and shareholder base in line with the highest international standards. We warmly welcome SPE Capital, with whom we have a longstanding and trusted relationship.”
The closing of this deal involved collaboration with industry-leading advisors. Dislog Group was represented by Rachid Hilmi from Hilmi Law Firm, while SPE Capital enlisted the support of DLA Piper, Deloitte Financial Advisory, Deloitte Conseil, Deloitte Maroc, and IBIS. This strategic alignment underscores the rigorous standards applied to the agreement’s structure.
In a move to reinforce Dislog Group’s governance, Nabil Triki and Tarek Lababidi will join the board of directors as representatives of the investment consortium. Their addition signals a commitment to bolstering strategic oversight, a critical component of the company’s growth and IPO aspirations.
This investment highlights the increasing confidence international funds have in Morocco’s economic landscape and local enterprises. The collaboration equips Dislog Group with the resources and expertise needed to thrive in a competitive environment, drive innovation, and achieve long-term success.
Together, SPE Capital and Dislog Group aim to build a resilient, future-focused company that contributes to Morocco’s economic vitality. This strategic partnership is not only a milestone for both organizations but also a catalyst for innovation and growth within the region’s business ecosystem.
