“Jaime Samon announced the imminent expansion of ARSAM Tunisia’s investment in order to respond to the growing development of its local activities. The two parties have agreed to work closely together to realize the expansion of the Spanish group ARSAM, a leader in industrial equipment, as soon as possible,” adds FIPA-Tunisia. 

The discussions, according to FIPA, focused essentially on ARSAM Tunisia’s activities in the automotive components sector and the company’s future expansion projects.

Jalel Tebib underscored the importance of the sector of automotive components in Tunisia’s industrial fabric and the enormous potential that our country offers to foreign companies.

He also enumerated the incentives put in place by the Tunisian Investment Law and from which ARSAM could benefit within the framework of its activities.
