Japanese Fujikura Company has established lately a mass-production system for fiber optic cables at Fujikura Automotive Morocco Tangier (FAMT)
to meet growing global demand.
The Tangier plant is now operating at its full capacity to ensure quick deliveries to its clients. FAMT, which has started as a production site for the automotive sector, has begun to produce Wrapping Tube Cable (WTC) and Fujikura’s thin-diameter, high-density fiber optic cable “Spider Web Ribbon” (SWR) .
The shift has enabled the Japanese company to keep up with the growing adoption of generative AI and the expansion of cloud services, increasing demand for fiber optic cables for data centers and telecommunications networks.
Fujikura Tangier plant has thus become a strategic production base for ensuring a stable supply to markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, enabling shorter lead times for deliveries to these regions.
This will also contribute to boosting job opportunities and the development of local industries in Morocco where Fujikura has strengthened its manufacturing and industrial presence through facilities operating in Kénitra (Atlantic Free Zone) and Tangier.
The Japanese company has recently expanded its Tangier plant to produce high-density telecommunication fiber-optic cables which play a critical role in modern telecom networks and AI that require massive amounts of data to travel continuously between thousands of processors.
Fiber-optic cable offers a high-speed data transmission line. It uses glass or polymer strands to carry information as pulses of light rather than electrical signals.
