Mediterrania Capital Partners is moving to deepen its footprint in Africa’s manufacturing sector through the planned acquisition of Société Marocaine des Manufactures de Mohammedia, the holding company of Amcor Flexibles Mohammedia, from Amcor Group. The deal signals a focused push into Morocco’s packaging industry, where steady demand across food, healthcare and consumer goods continues to create room for expansion.
Amcor Flexibles Mohammedia operates as a manufacturer of flexible packaging solutions, mainly serving the dairy industry, while also supplying the pharmaceutical, food and personal care sectors. The company is based in Mohammedia and runs a fully integrated industrial platform, making it an important part of the country’s manufacturing ecosystem.
According to Albert Alsina, founder and CEO, Mediterrania Capital Partners, the investment reflects a clear growth strategy. “AFM represents a solid industrial platform in a resilient sector, with opportunities to further expand its product offering and customer base. This acquisition reflects our firm’s strategy of investing in market-leading mid-sized companies across Africa and supporting their next phase of growth,” he said.
Expanding Industrial Capacity and Market Reach
The acquisition is expected to unlock new opportunities for AFM by improving its production capabilities and expanding its reach into new markets. Mediterrania Capital Partners plans to build on its experience in the packaging sector to position AFM as a leading flexible packaging platform not only in Morocco but across the region.
Working closely with the company’s management team, the firm aims to enhance operational efficiency while diversifying both products and clients. Hatim Ben Ahmed, managing partner at Mediterrania Capital Partners, explained the approach. “Together with AFM’s management, we will focus on expanding the company’s production capabilities, enhancing operational efficiency and supporting the diversification of its product portfolio and client base. This transaction also aligns with MCP’s hands-on investment approach, which aims to create sustainable value and promote industrial champions across the region.”
Supporting SME Growth Across Africa
Mediterrania Capital Partners focuses on growth investments in small and mid-sized companies across Africa, typically targeting businesses with annual revenues between €20 million and €300 million. The firm supports expansion into both North and Sub-Saharan African markets, with a strong emphasis on value creation and ESG processes.
Headquartered in Valletta and with offices in Abidjan, Algiers, Barcelona, Cairo and Casablanca, the company takes a proactive, hands-on approach to implementing growth strategies across its portfolio. It is a regulated financial investment manager licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority, the Financial Services Commission in Mauritius and the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores in Spain.
The acquisition of Amcor Flexibles Mohammedia aligns with this broader strategy, offering a pathway to industrial growth while strengthening supply chains in essential sectors such as food and healthcare.
The transaction remains subject to customary regulatory approvals, but it highlights continued investor confidence in Africa’s manufacturing sector and the growing role of private equity in supporting long-term industrial development.
