About Us

Our Journey

From a Local Vision to a Global Leader

COFICAB's journey began with the entrepreneurial spirit of the Elloumi Family, as part of the Elloumi Group established in 1946. Founded in Tunisia in 1992, COFICAB quickly grew into a trusted global partner for leading automotive manufacturers. Building on its automotive expertise, COFICAB continues to expand its capabilities across energy, industrial, and other emerging sectors. Its success continues to be driven by the vision and passion of three individuals whose enduring legacy continues to inspire COFICAB's evolution.

Driving the Future

COFICAB maintains its commitment to sustainability-driven growth and innovation, with the aim of leaving a better world for the next generations.

While we continue expanding our global footprint to be closer to our clients and optimize our supply chain, we continuously enhance the sustainability of our operations to reduce our carbon footprint.

As a global leader in the automotive industry, we are at the forefront of the key megatrends – Electromobility, Connectivity, and Autonomous Driving.

At the same time, we are expanding our presence in the Industrial & Energy sector, serving markets such as appliances and buildings, industrial automation and robotics, data centers, renewable energy, and charging infrastructure.

Since the beginning of its story, COFICAB stands as a socially responsible company, ensuring it contributes to the well-being of the communities where it is present. A story to which we keep adding new and successful chapters.

COFICAB has always been on track to meet its engagements at national and international levels, and that is why our focus on sustainability is now stronger than ever.
