In 1961, Ahmed and M’Hammed Kabbaj founded SGTM. The company thrived and became an international group by participating in major infrastructure projects such as the construction of Mohammed V Airport, the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, tunnels, TGV viaducts, the port of Safi, and the Casablanca Marina. SGTM is also behind Dar Assaka, a national monument on the road to Meknes. Ahmed Kabbaj left behind a legacy of discipline, high standards, and a sense of responsibility. He became a role model for entrepreneurs and builders in Morocco.
As a leading player in construction and public works, SGTM has developed multidisciplinary expertise over half a century to meet the growing infrastructure needs in Morocco and Africa. The bridges, roads, ports, and urban infrastructure built by SGTM are strategic links that have contributed to the building of the continent, aligned with the continental vision of His Majesty King Mohamed VI. With excellence and innovation as pillars, the company aims to become a benchmark of quality across the continent. Thanks to its versatility and global expertise, SGTM is investing in new vital sectors to build the Morocco and Africa of tomorrow.
Founded in 1971, the General Society of Works of Morocco quickly established its leadership. From its early years, it showcased the diversity of its expertise through perfectly managed major projects such as the elevation of the Safi canal or the Lalla Takerkoust dam, or the construction of the wholesale market in Rabat.
SGTM was entrusted with the most prestigious projects that marked Morocco's embrace of modernity: Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca, corporate headquarters such as those of Royal Air Maroc and Banque Populaire, skyscrapers, luxury hotels, industrial sites, and several civil engineering lots for the Great Hassan II Mosque and the delicate urban arrangements of Casablanca.
This decade amplified the dynamics of success. New corporate headquarters, such as that of the Commercial Bank of Morocco and the General Directorate of Customs and Taxes, and exceptional buildings like the Technopark or the Twin Center towers. Major public facilities were then entrusted to it: Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane or the large Ait Messaoud hydraulic complex. SGTM also undertook its first major projects internationally, such as Al Ain Airport in the United Arab Emirates.
The 21st century began with the advent of the new reign and the tremendous economic momentum given to our country, particularly in large infrastructure policy. SGTM played an active part, participating in the construction of the large Tanger Med port, the port protection dam, the Marrakech Stadium, the Moulay El Hassan Bridge, the Morocco Mall, Casa Marina, numerous tourism projects, and the Maroc Telecom tower.
Since 2011, SGTM has become a recognized player on the African continent, with operations in Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon, thanks to major projects like dams or the recent Cocody Bay development project in Abidjan.
