Danish Investor Takes Majority Stake in Moroccan Logistics Firm Globex

Danish investor A.P. Moller Capital has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Globex Investissement, a leading Moroccan logistics company, six months after establishing an investment fund dedicated to transport and logistics in Morocco. Under the deal, A.P. Moller Capital’s Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund II and the APM Capital Morocco Fund will together take the majority position, partnering with founder and CEO Omar El Kadiri, who will remain at the helm alongside an experienced management team.

Globex holds exclusive licensing agreements in the Moroccan market and established positions in express delivery, road freight, freight forwarding and customs clearance, according to a statement from A.P. Moller Capital. The company said the deal fits squarely within its geographic and sectoral strategy in Morocco’s transport and logistics space, and that it aims to help Globex become a leader in green logistics, including solar-powered sorting centres, an electric fleet and carbon-emissions reporting under a “Net Zero” roadmap.

Kim Fejfer, CEO of A.P. Moller Capital, said the investment aligns closely with the firm’s core sector focus and geographic orientation, describing Morocco as fast becoming North Africa’s leading logistics hub on the back of favourable macroeconomic conditions. Ghislane Guedira, CEO of APM Capital Morocco, said the partnership would support Globex’s continued market growth alongside a strong sustainability focus. Completion of the acquisition remains subject to approval from Morocco’s Competition Council under merger-control rules.

The APM Capital Morocco Fund, created in February 2026 under the Mohammed VI Investment Fund initiative, closed with total commitments of 1.64 billion dirhams, or roughly $178 million, with EMIF II separately committing an additional 600 million dirhams, bringing total capital available for Moroccan transport and logistics investment to 2.24 billion dirhams, about $243 million. A.P. Moller Capital previously exited an investment in Mass Céréales Al Maghreb in 2025 and has also backed Moroccan port and energy-transition infrastructure projects.
