TECHNIPLUS S.A.

What TECHNIPLUS S.A. does

TECHNIPLUS S.A., founded in 1991 in Casablanca, Morocco, is a privately held distributor and service provider of material handling and lifting equipment, operating as a subsidiary of Breakwater Investments Ltd — the logistics and engineering arm of Malta-based Hili Ventures Group, which employs more than 11,000 people across 10 countries. The company sells and supports industrial cranes, heavy forklifts and lifting trucks, light warehouse handling equipment, and related spare parts under exclusive authorized-distributor partnerships with ABUS Kransysteme (overhead and jib cranes up to 120 tons, electric hoists), Konecranes (heavy forklifts of 10-65 tons, reach stackers, empty container handlers, and eco-lifting solutions), Clark Europe (electric and diesel forklifts, warehouse trucks), and ARDELT (heavy-duty portal cranes and ship unloaders). Its head office in Casablanca includes a 500 m² sales, warehouse, and workshop facility, complemented by four service centers in Tangier, Agadir, Jorf Lasfar, and Safi, and its commercial reach extends to Mauritania, Senegal, Tunisia, and Algeria.

The company's revenue model blends four streams: one-time equipment sales with associated installation and commissioning; recurring genuine spare-parts supply across all supported brands; equipment rental of Clark forklifts, pallet trucks, and specialized carts on flexible terms of up to five years; and lifecycle and maintenance services including assembling, in-shop and on-site repairs, mobile and emergency repairs, planned maintenance packages, and modernization. Pricing is entirely quote-based, tailored to customer specifications, with no public pricing or subscription tiers disclosed. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting ports, industrial operators, and logistics hubs with direct digital engagement via a multi-language website, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp for spare-parts and rental inquiries.

Techniplus serves enterprise customers across port operations (Marsa-Maroc, CMA CGM), mining (OCP), automotive (Stellantis, Renault), steel (Sonasid, Maghreb Steel), paper (International Paper), energy (Wartsila), and general manufacturing. The company has 52 employees, 41 of whom are dedicated to customer service, and was led as of January 2025 by Managing Director Amine Rfiqi. No external funding rounds, M&A transactions, or public-listing activity have been disclosed.
