In operation since 1972 and the current leader in bedding in Morocco, Dolidol is continuing its continental expansion with a move into Nigeria. Company management, controlled by CEO Jalil Skali, has set its sights on a mattress manufacturing plant in this English-speaking market. This will be a first for the group, which launched the Uni Comfort Côte d’Ivoire (UCCI) factory in the neighbouring French-speaking Ivorian market in 2016.
