A.P. Moller Capital has reinforced its long-term commitment to Morocco after its local subsidiary, APM Capital Morocco S.A., reached final close on a dedicated transport and logistics investment fund.
The APM Capital Morocco Fund gathered MAD 1.64 billion ($178 million) from Moroccan and international institutional investors. The initiative forms part of the broader investment drive led by the Mohammed VI Investment Fund, which seeks to channel private capital into strategic sectors, stimulate economic expansion and create sustainable employment.
The firepower does not stop there. A.P. Moller Capital – Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund II K/S (EMIF II), managed by A.P. Moller Capital, committed an additional MAD 600 million ($65 million) alongside the local fund.
Together, the combined envelope of MAD 2.24 billion ($243 million) positions the platform as one of the most substantial private pools of capital dedicated to Morocco’s transport and logistics sector.
A strategic bet on Morocco
The move signals confidence in Morocco’s economic trajectory. The country continues to benefit from solid macroeconomic management, expanding industrial capacity and growing nearshoring demand from European partners. Transport corridors, port capacity and supply-chain infrastructure sit at the heart of that transformation.
For A.P. Moller Capital, Morocco represents familiar ground rather than a new frontier. The firm previously invested in Mass Céréales Al Maghreb, a key grain terminal operator, before a full exit in 2025. It also backed port-linked and energy-enabling infrastructure assets that support the kingdom’s long-term transition strategy.
Kim Fejfer, Chief Executive Officer of A.P. Moller Capital, described the country in a statement as a priority market where the firm has built experience across an entire investment cycle. He pointed to the group’s operational expertise as a differentiator and noted that this track record played a role in its selection by the Mohammed VI Investment Fund as a long-term capital partner.
Local leadership, global expertise
The fund operates under the leadership of Ghislane Guedira, Chief Executive Officer of APM Capital Morocco S.A. From Casablanca, her team will identify and scale businesses across segments such as international express logistics, third-party logistics services, air cargo handling and temperature-controlled storage.
Guedira, in a press statement, stressed that the strategy blends international institutional capital with local insight. The objective, she said, centers on strengthening high-quality Moroccan companies, improving operational performance and supporting disciplined expansion.
The initiative reflects a broader ambition to to reinforce Morocco’s role as a logistics and industrial gateway between Europe and Africa. As supply chains shift and manufacturers seek proximity to end markets, efficient transport and storage infrastructure could prove decisive.
A.P. Moller Capital, part of the A.P. Moller Group, focuses on infrastructure investments across transport, logistics and energy transition sectors in emerging markets. Its Moroccan arm operates under the supervision of the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC), which oversees capital markets activity in the kingdom.
With fresh capital secured and a pipeline already identified, the firm now enters its next phase in Morocco with the clear intent to back companies that underpin trade, strengthen supply chains and anchor long-term economic growth.
