SYCHEM, through its subsidiary SYCHEM Africa, has entered into a strategic partnership with OCP Maintenance Solutions, with the shared objective of improving the operation and maintenance of desalination plants in Morocco, enhancing their reliability, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
The partnership brings together two companies with complementary expertise and a shared vision for delivering advanced, effective solutions in water management. SYCHEM contributes its extensive experience in the design, construction, operation, and optimisation of desalination facilities, while OCP Maintenance Solutions brings its expertise in industrial maintenance, advanced equipment monitoring technologies and predictive maintenance.
By combining their strengths, the two companies aim to develop an integrated approach to plant operation, technical support, and maintenance. This collaboration will focus on improving operational performance, minimising unplanned downtime, extending equipment lifespan, and ensuring the efficient use of resources.
A key aspect of the partnership is the proposed establishment of a Centre of Excellence for Desalination in Morocco, envisioned as a hub for knowledge transfer, technical training, and the implementation of international best practices. As part of this initiative, SYCHEM’s specialised teams will provide technical expertise and support, while contributing to the training and development of local professionals. This approach aims to strengthen local capabilities and foster a sustainable ecosystem of technical expertise in the desalination sector.
The partnership will focus on desalination projects in Morocco, prioritising equipment reliability, energy and operational efficiency, and maintenance cost optimisation. The collaboration also lays the groundwork for future joint projects and business opportunities, both across Africa and in other international markets.
At a time when the demand for reliable and sustainable water solutions continues to grow, this partnership highlights the importance of combining technical expertise, innovation, and international collaboration to address the evolving challenges of water resource management.
For SYCHEM, this agreement represents another important milestone in strengthening its presence in North Africa and expanding its international activities. It also reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering advanced, efficient, and sustainable desalination solutions, while building strategic partnerships that create long-term value for the water sector.
