Moroccan logistics startup Colis.ma has officially launched its first international agency in Brussels, Belgium, marking a major milestone in its European expansion. The move represents a strategic shift for the startup, moving from a platform primarily reliant on third-party partners to establishing its own physical infrastructure outside of Morocco to better manage the growing volume of cross-border shipments between the MENA region and Europe.
Strengthening The Morocco-Europe Logistics Corridor
Since its founding, Colis.ma has focused on facilitating the movement of goods for individuals and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) between Morocco and the European Union. While the company previously managed its European operations through an external network of partners, the new Brussels facility allows for direct operational control. This infrastructure is designed to optimize delivery times and improve the overall quality of service for the thousands of users who rely on the platform for transcontinental logistics.
A Strategic Leap For Moroccan Entrepreneurship
The opening in Brussels is framed as the foundation of a broader international roadmap. Issam Darui, Founder and CEO of Colis.ma and an alumnus of the Orange Corners Morocco program, noted that this expansion is an evolution of the company’s vision. By establishing a physical footprint in a major European logistics hub, the startup is better positioned to serve the Moroccan diaspora and European businesses looking for reliable, tech-driven links to the North African market.
From Startup Ecosystem To Global Infrastructure
The growth of Colis.ma has been supported by several key players in the African and MENA tech ecosystems, including The Baobab Network and the Moroccan Retail Tech Builder (MRTB). The transition from a local startup to an international logistics provider highlights the increasing maturity of Moroccan tech ventures. The company intends to use the Brussels agency as a blueprint for further expansion across Europe, aiming to connect more people and businesses across continents through a unified, efficient logistics network.
