OCP Maintenance Solutions, a subsidiary of Morocco’s OCP Group, has partnered with NTN Europe to bring AI-powered predictive maintenance solutions to industrial companies across Europe, the two companies announced. The partnership combines OCP Maintenance Solutions’ expertise in artificial intelligence and industrial data with NTN Europe’s knowledge of bearings, rotating equipment and industrial diagnostics, aiming to help manufacturers detect equipment problems before costly failures occur.
The rollout will first target industrial clients in France before expanding to other European markets. Under the partnership, NTN Europe will contribute expertise through its SNR brand, focused on bearings and rotating equipment, while OCP Maintenance Solutions will provide its proprietary i-Sense and i-Predict technologies, which use equipment data, vibration analysis and AI to identify early signs of potential failure.
The joint offer will cover the full maintenance process, from identifying critical equipment to data analysis, fault diagnosis and maintenance decisions. The partnership follows nearly a year of joint work between the two companies, including tests on bearings and rotating equipment at NTN Europe’s technical facilities, and draws on OCP Maintenance Solutions’ prior deployments in Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire, Pakistan and India.
‘Industrial companies no longer expect only high-performance technologies; they expect measurable results,’ said Abdenour Jbili, CEO of OCP Maintenance Solutions. Eric Malavasi, Vice President of NTN Europe, said the alliance reflects a broader effort to support customers beyond individual products, combining rotating-equipment expertise with predictive technologies to enable more anticipatory maintenance.
Founded in 2020, OCP Maintenance Solutions specializes in industrial maintenance, digital technologies and artificial intelligence, employing more than 350 people with clients in over nine countries. The partnership gives it a route into the European industrial market through NTN Europe, part of Japan’s NTN Corporation, which operates 14 production sites across Europe with more than 5,000 employees and €1.2 billion in 2024 revenue.
