Chinese industrial equipment maker Hacint is preparing to move beyond sales in Morocco and establish local assembly and after-sales operations in Tangier through a company formed with Moroccan entrepreneur Mohammed Mouhssine.

The planned shift would give the manufacturer a local platform for processing selected semi-finished products, selling machinery and supporting customers in Morocco, Europe and Africa. Hacint makes equipment used to produce and test electrical wire harnesses, an important component of vehicles and other electrical systems.

A joint company in Tangier

Hacint Morocco was incorporated on March 17, 2026. A Chinese regulatory filing says Hacint Intelligence Technology owns 30% of the business and established it with Mohammed Mouhssine, the head of Tangier-based industrial equipment supplier Megaindus and a former Hacint sales manager.

Megaindus already markets Hacint cable-processing and crimping equipment in Morocco. The new structure formalises a relationship that had previously centred on commercial representation and distribution.

Hacint says it currently serves Morocco through a combination of direct sales and distribution. Under the next phase, the Chinese company plans to supply semi-finished products to Hacint Morocco for further processing and local sale, particularly moulds, spare parts and related equipment. The Tangier company is also expected to provide after-sales service to Hacint customers.

This is more limited than manufacturing complete production lines from raw materials, but it represents a move up from a sales-only presence. Local assembly can shorten delivery times, keep frequently needed parts closer to customers and reduce the time required for maintenance.

Capital increased as the operation takes shape

Hacint Morocco was initially created with capital of 100,000 dirhams. By the end of June, its capital had risen to approximately 3.63 million dirhams, according to Hacint’s first-half disclosures.

The Moroccan operation remains at an early stage. Unaudited figures for the first half of 2026 show revenue of about 69,853 yuan, equivalent to roughly 96,400 dirhams, and a small net loss of approximately 3,189 yuan, or 4,400 dirhams. Assets stood at around 3.01 million yuan, while equity was about 2.61 million yuan.

Those figures should not be read as the performance of a mature factory. The company was only incorporated in March and was still establishing its operating base during the reporting period.

Part of Hacint’s international expansion

Founded in 1994 and based in Hebi, Henan province, Hacint produces automated crimping machines, testing systems, applicators and other equipment for wire-harness manufacturing. Its products are used in the automotive sector as well as appliances, communications and other industries.

The group reported total first-half revenue of approximately 699 million yuan, up 59.46% from a year earlier, while net profit attributable to shareholders reached about 129 million yuan. Hacint also said its overseas revenue increased by 274.15% and identified Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico and Serbia among the markets where it had built sales and delivery channels.

For Hacint, Tangier offers proximity to Morocco’s automotive suppliers and relatively direct access to European and African customers. For Morocco, the project adds another equipment supplier to an industrial ecosystem that already produces vehicles, components and wire harnesses for export.

Key details remain undisclosed

Hacint has not publicly specified the size of the Tangier workshop, the number of jobs it expects to create or a timetable for reaching full assembly capacity. It has also not disclosed expected production volumes for the Moroccan operation.

The extent of the project’s industrial impact will therefore depend on how much processing is ultimately carried out locally, whether Moroccan technicians are trained for specialised work and whether the operation develops a local supplier base. For now, the filings confirm a funded local company and a defined plan to combine assembly, sales and service in Tangier.
