Summary:

On 18 June 2026, German group DELTEC, specialized in electronic manufacturing services (EMS), acquired Cicor Digital Tunisie, the Borj Cédria industrial site previously owned by Swiss group Cicor following its restructuring decision.  

The transaction integrates around 100 Tunisian employees into DELTEC’s international industrial network.  

DELTEC stated that the acquisition supports its expansion strategy in electronic systems and integrated industrial solutions. The transaction follows Cicor’s decision to divest its Tunisian operations as part of a broader reorganization of its industrial footprint. 

Outlook: 

The acquisition is likely to be viewed as a stabilizing development for Tunisia’s electronics manufacturing sector, ensuring continuity of industrial activity at Borj Cédria despite ownership changes within European industrial groups. While the initial news of Cicor’s departure was viewed as a negative reflection on the market conditions in Tunisia, the decision of a second European buyer to assume control helped to bolster confidence. 

DELTEC’s decision also confirms Tunisia’s continued role as an outsourced production base within European electronics value chains, where competitiveness is driven primarily by cost efficiency and production flexibility rather than strategic industrial anchoring or long-term capacity expansion.
