The German group LAPP (Lapp Holding SE), a global leader specialising in cabling, connectivity and connection technology solutions, announced at the end of December in Tunis that it would soon be opening an R&D centre in Tunisia.
The announcement was made by Michael Seddig, CEO and COO EMEA of the group, following a working session at the headquarters of FIPA Tunisia, the Tunisian facilitator for foreign investment in Tunisia.
Through this project, LAPP has chosen Tunisia as its regional platform for industrial innovation. The future research and development centre will strengthen local capabilities in advanced industrial technologies and contribute to Tunisia’s positioning in technology-intensive segments. According to FIPA-Tunisia, this investment is motivated by several key factors: a competitive business climate, the availability of highly skilled talent and an unwavering institutional commitment to investment.
This project also illustrates Tunisia’s ability to attract strategic investment in the technologies of tomorrow and consolidate its role in international industrial value chains.
With a presence in more than 80 countries and 5,800 employees across 26 international production sites, LAPP’s latest announcement further consolidates the prosperity enjoyed by the German automotive industry in Tunisia.
