The Rouiba Industrial Zone, located approximately 20 kilometers east of Algiers, is the largest and most diverse industrial concentration in Algeria. Established in the 1970s as part of a national strategy to diversify the economy beyond hydrocarbons, it covers an area of more than 1,000 hectares. The zone is home to several major national companies, including SNVI, which produces trucks, buses and specialized vehicles, and the pharmaceutical giant Saidal. It also hosts numerous private enterprises involved in food processing, chemical manufacturing and electronics. The strategic location near the capital and the port of Algiers provides excellent logistical advantages for the distribution of goods throughout the country and for international trade. Rouiba is considered the heart of Algeria's manufacturing sector, providing employment for tens of thousands of workers and supporting a vast network of subcontractors. Over the decades, the zone has evolved to include modern logistics centers and business services, reflecting the changing needs of the Algerian market. It continues to attract investment as the government promotes domestic production and import substitution.
