A.P. Moller Capital Acquires Majority Stake in Moroccan Logistics Group Globex

By MGN EditorialAugust 18, 2026 at 12:00 PM

A.P. Moller Capital has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Moroccan logistics group Globex Investissement, deploying capital from its newly established Morocco-focused logistics fund.

## A.P. Moller Capital Expands African Logistics Footprint with Globex Acquisition A.P. Moller Capital has moved to strengthen its presence in African logistics markets, agreeing to acquire a majority stake in Moroccan logistics group Globex Investissement, according to Splash247. The transaction is being executed through two investment vehicles: the Emerging Markets Infrastructure Fund II and the APM Capital Morocco Fund — the latter a recently established fund specifically targeting logistics infrastructure opportunities in Morocco. The deal represents one of the first significant deployments of capital from the Morocco-focused fund since its formation. Globex Investissement is an established player in Morocco's logistics sector, and the acquisition positions A.P. Moller Capital to capitalise on growing trade flows through North Africa, a region that has attracted increasing interest from global infrastructure investors in recent years. Morocco has emerged as a strategically important logistics hub, benefiting from its proximity to European markets, expanding port infrastructure — most notably the Tanger Med complex — and its role as a gateway for sub-Saharan African trade. The country has actively courted foreign investment in its logistics and industrial sectors as part of broader economic development ambitions. A.P. Moller Capital, the investment arm of the A.P. Moller Group, focuses on infrastructure investments across emerging markets, with a particular emphasis on transport and logistics assets. The Globex acquisition aligns with the firm's broader strategy of building integrated logistics platforms in high-growth regions. The move also reflects continued consolidation interest in African logistics, a sector that has drawn significant private equity and infrastructure fund attention as e-commerce growth, port modernisation programmes, and expanding consumer markets drive demand for professional third-party logistics services. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The deal is subject to customary regulatory approvals.
