What Ingelec does

Ingelec is a 100% Moroccan, family-owned manufacturer of low-voltage electrical equipment, founded in 1975 by Mohamed Sekkat and currently led by CEO Fouad Sekkat. The company operates five production sites in Casablanca with approximately 1,200 employees and 4,000+ product references spanning switches and sockets (Alyans, Kenzi, Zenith, Tichka, Jade, Safir, Tropic, Logo, Musik), protection devices, enclosures (Metalbox, Polybox), industrial motor starters, cable reels, lighting (LED and conventional, residential, tertiary, industrial, outdoor), air treatment (TechAIR wall-mounted, cassette, ducted units), domotics (Smarthome line), and IPS structured-cabling solutions with a 25-year manufacturer warranty. Wholly-owned subsidiary IMACAB manufactures low to very-high-voltage cables approved by Morocco's Office National d'Électricité (ONE).

The business model is hardware sales through a multi-tier channel — authorized distributors, semi-wholesalers, retailers (including Bricoma and Mr. Bricolage), GMS/drugstores/grocery stores for selected SKUs, and a B2B client portal — exporting to 30+ countries across West Africa and Europe. Certifications (ISO 9001:2015, NF, NM, VDE, ONE) and the Takwin Training Academy (created 2019) underpin specification wins. Customers span residential homeowners, real estate developers (Prestigia, Anwar Dev, Chaabi Iskan, Alliances Darna, Anassi), infrastructure operators (ONCF, Tanger Med), and enterprise/investment groups (Doha Groupe). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held with no institutional investors identified.
