Belza Préfa

Founded in 2010 and based in Ben Guerir, Belza Préfa is a company specialising in the manufacture and sale of prestressed construction materials. Its range covers a broad spectrum: long-span floors and hollow-core slabs, standard elements (hollow floor blocks, concrete blocks, formwork blocks, kerbs), as well as special products including bases for solar panels and customised concrete elements — positioning the company at the intersection of traditional construction and public works and the challenges of the energy transition.

Drawing on a team of more than 50 employees and its own logistics capacity — semi-trailers, rigid trucks and a mobile crane — Belza Préfa operates in the regions of Ben Guerir, Skhour Rhamna, Youssoufia and Kalaa. The company is part of a group ecosystem that also includes Agrébéton (concrete), Rhamna (aggregates and sand), Belza Logistics (dedicated transport) and Belza Ecotech (land development).

Agrébéton

A subsidiary of the Belza Group, Agrébéton is a crushing, processing and transport plant for high-quality aggregates, founded in 2008 and located on the Oued Tensift deposit, in the Marrakech region. The company produces and sells aggregates for concrete and road infrastructure, with an industrial capacity of 400 tonnes per hour and a sand and fine gravel processing unit coupled with a water clarification system.

Agrébéton relies on its own logistics fleet to deliver directly to construction sites, and conducts its business within a certified quality approach — daily testing in its in-house laboratory, backed by testing agreements with NM ISO 17025-accredited laboratories. On the environmental front, the company has introduced systems to reduce dust emissions and fully recycle wash water. It also carries out social initiatives for neighbouring communities, notably in the development of local road infrastructure.

Weatherbound®

Founded in 2023 in Zurich, Weatherbound® is a Swiss start-up driven by a team of six engineers with complementary expertise — meteorology, hydrology, biology, electronic engineering and computer science. Under the leadership of its founder Noè Zardi, the company has developed an irrigation management system centred on the actual needs of plants.

The solution combines measuring stations deployed on farmland with a dedicated app, providing integrated monitoring of soil, plants and atmosphere for irrigation that is both precise and water-efficient. Compatible with existing infrastructure, it adapts to a wide variety of agricultural settings.

Morocco is a strategic testing ground for Weatherbound®: in partnership with the Regional Office for Agricultural Development (ORMVA), the company is currently running a pilot project on perfume rose crops in southern Morocco, with a market launch planned for 2027. This approach is fully in line with the water resilience and agricultural competitiveness challenges facing the Kingdom.
