Distribution, household appliances and digital solutions
In wholesale trade, the Tunisian company IGL Distribution has concluded an agreement with Tapidor, an Algerian manufacturer of rugs, carpets and synthetic turf.
The technology sector was represented by an agreement between the Tunisian group One Tech, specialized in electronic solutions, and the Algerian group Condor, heavyweight in household appliances.
The seventh agreement brought together Jomaa SA, a Tunisian company active in automotive equipment – tires, lubricants and tools – and the Algerian group Iris, which has several production units in electronics, electrical appliances and telecommunications.
A strong political and economic signal
During the ceremony, Hichem Elloumi, vice-president of UTICA, welcomed “agreements of great importance for the two countries”, emphasizing the potential for cooperation in areas that are still underexploited: tourism, industry, renewable energies, trade and investments.
The two governments are banking on these partnerships to boost trade and provide a lasting framework for Tunisian-Algerian economic rapprochement.
