A Moroccan company, Dolidol, a market-leading operator in Francophone Africa which manufactures and distributes  bedding and mattress products, has acquired the Nigerian giant, Mouka with an investment of $60 million.

Investment firm, Development Partners International (DPI), publicized the signing of Dolidol’s acquisition of Mouka, making Dolidol a regional champion and leader in the African bedding and mattress industry.

The subsidiary of Palmeraie Holding, which operates in the polyurethane foam and bedding sector, is said to be accelerating its African expansion through a successful operation in Nigeria.

In May 2021, the Moroccan mattress maker, Dolidol announced plans to make an acquisition in Nigeria in order to establish its presence in Africa’s largest economy and expand its base in West Africa. However, its potential target at the time was not made known.

The CEO of Dolidol, Mohamed Lazaar, believes the acquisition of Mouka will allow Dolidol to strengthen its presence in the country and complement the company’s growth in the region with an addressable market of around 200 million Nigerians.

He said, “Dolidol continues to strengthen its position as an African leader. The acquisition of Mouka presents a real opportunity for development in a structured market with growth potential of around 10% per year”. (Nairamertics)
