The APS Coating Solutions group opens a subsidiary in Morocco
APS Coating Solutions today announces the creation of its Moroccan subsidiary in Casablanca.
Located in the heart of the MIDPARC industrial acceleration zone, fully integrated into the local aeronautical ecosystem, the new site will cover 12,000 m² of land.
The site will offer an integrated range of dry and wet surface treatments, complemented by associated operations such as non-destructive testing, grinding and other related services.
Designed to meet the most demanding quality standards of the aeronautical industry, the site will aim for the implementation of the EN 9100, Nadcap, Aero Excellence, and AirCyber standards. It will also incorporate a structured environmental approach, with a goal of zero liquid discharge, control of atmospheric emissions, and a trajectory for reducing its carbon footprint.
Commissioning is scheduled for the first quarter of 2028.
“Two years after the acquisition of Metrasur and Lorilleux, we are pursuing our ambition to strengthen our position as an integrated industrial player serving strategic industrial sectors,” declares Miguel Waxin, President of APS Coating Solutions. “This Moroccan subsidiary represents an important step in this trajectory: it will allow us to meet customer demand and enrich our aeronautical offering, particularly in wet coating.”
This project is being carried out in partnership with SFGP (Société Française de Grenaillage de Précontrainte), headed by Yannick FOLLEZOU, and CANI Group, an aeronautical consulting firm specializing in surface treatments, headed by Erick SEBE, as well as with other stakeholders. It is fully aligned with the dynamics of the Moroccan aeronautical sector and the industrial strategy pursued by the Kingdom of Morocco.

A drop that reveals everything
Behind this simple drop of water lies an essential test in the development of our coatings.
The wettability test allows us to evaluate how a surface behaves in contact with a liquid. This is valuable information during formulation, as—depending on the application—a coating may need to either promote or limit adhesion.
This test is one of the many evaluations conducted by our teams to design solutions that meet the requirements of each application.
At APS Coating Solutions, a coating’s performance begins long before its application: it is built right from the formulation stage.
How to effectively protect gas turbine transition parts?
These critical components are exposed to extreme conditions: thermal shocks, vibrations, friction and corrosion linked to gases (fuel).
At APS-METRASUR-LORILLEUX, we apply Stellite and chromium carbide coatings, as well as yttria-stabilized zirconia for thermal barrier applications, which serve to:
- Extend component service life
- Provide an internal thermal barrier
- Minimize wear caused by vibration and friction
- Resist gas-induced corrosion
Our know-how includes a specific industrialization method, adapted to complex geometries.

How can you reduce maintenance costs for your ink or glue trays?
In the printing and packaging industries, cleaning operations and color changes can quickly become time-consuming and costly.
At APS-METRASUR-LORILLEUX, we apply NUFLON® coatings, which:
- Facilitate cleaning thanks to their non-stick properties
- Simplify ink or adhesive color changes
- Ensure component durability through their mechanical and chemical resistance
