Opel Algeria production takes a decisive step forward as the German brand confirms Algeria as its first manufacturing location outside Europe. The move signals a deeper industrial commitment to the Middle East and Africa region. It also reinforces Algeria’s growing role in regional automotive manufacturing, with a clear focus on local production, long-term investment, and sustainable growth.
Algeria Selected After Two Years of Strategic Preparation
Opel’s decision follows more than two years of structured engagement in the Algerian market. During this period, partnerships have steadily evolved, paving the way for a dedicated production unit designed primarily to serve Algerian customers while supporting regional demand.
The future plant will operate alongside Opel’s established European manufacturing network, ensuring industrial complementarity rather than duplication.
High-Level Talks Confirm Industrial Roadmap
Recent working sessions in Algiers brought together Opel CEO Florian Huettl and Samir Cherfan, Chief Operating Officer for Stellantis Middle East & Africa and member of the Group Executive Committee.
Discussions focused on:
- Development of the new Opel production site
- Integration of additional Opel models into Algeria’s industrial ecosystem
- Strengthening local supply chains and industrial partnerships
These exchanges confirm that the project is aligned with Stellantis’ broader regional strategy.
Local Manufacturing at the Core of Opel’s Strategy
The Algerian production site reflects Opel’s “made in the region, for the region” approach. Local manufacturing, industrial integration, and sustained investment are positioned as key drivers for long-term competitiveness and market stability.
Opel aims to deliver its well-known German engineering standards while anchoring production locally, creating value for customers, partners, and the national automotive industry.
A Strategic Milestone for Opel and Algeria
This announcement represents a major milestone for:
- Opel’s international expansion
- Stellantis Middle East & Africa operations
- Algeria’s ambition to develop a structured automotive manufacturing base
The project is expected to strengthen the surrounding industrial ecosystem and support broader regional growth.
With Algeria selected as its first production hub outside Europe, Opel confirms a long-term industrial vision for the region. Local manufacturing, ecosystem development, and quality-focused production position the brand for sustainable growth in Algeria and across the Middle East and Africa.
