The foundation stone for the new automotive glass production plant being built for AGC Automotive Induver Morocco was laid on 15 March in the presence of the Moroccan minister of Industry and Commerce, Mr Moulay Hafid Elalamy, together with many other personalities from the world of politics, industry and the media. The project for the new plant, which is being built at Kenitra is the result of a joint venture between AGC Automotive Europe and Moroccan glass producer Induver. The initiative marks the AGC Group's first operations in Africa and the new company will produce toughened glass for backlites and sidelites together with lamianted glass for windscreens. The site will have sufficient capacity to supply around 1.1m car sets per year and should be operational in 2019. Some 600 jobs will be created.
