The initiative aims to generate added value, create jobs, and strengthen domestic industrial capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The factory, operated by Maintenance Company of the East\u2014a subsidiary of the GICA Group\u2014specializes in the production of brake pads for both light and heavy vehicles, in line with recognized technical standards. It has an annual production capacity of 1.5 million units, covering 153 models, including 126 for light vehicles and 27 for heavy-duty transport, in addition to components for tractors and other equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The facility is expected to meet between 30% and 40% of national demand, while also reducing import dependency and opening prospects for export markets. The project will create more than 150 jobs, including 60 direct positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the plant operates through an integrated production chain, from raw material preparation to mechanical and thermal processing, surface treatment, and final finishing and packaging. This ensures the production of high-quality brake pads that comply with industry standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the project marks a significant step in strengthening Algeria\u2019s mechanical industry, supporting local production, and advancing the country\u2019s economic sovereignty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Algeria\u2019s Prime Minister, Seifi Ghrieb, acting on behalf of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, officially inaugurated on Wednesday in Algiers a new factory dedicated to the production of brake pads and related components.
