THE GROUP
The Benjelloun Group, in its current structure, reflects the vision and efforts of five combined generations
The Benjelloun Group, in its current structure, reflects the vision and efforts of five combined generations which, ever since the 19th century, have put their know-how and concern for excellence at the service of their business development.
Thanks to the impetus of the patriarch-founder, a textile merchant based in Manchester, the Benjelloun family’s financial epic has truly began at the end of the 19th century.
Mohamed Benjelloun, the son, nicknamed “the guarantor” in the business world, became a banker and started to expand the family business to other horizons besides trading.
Haj Abbas Benjelloun, third of his name, gave a new breath to the group. At the beginning of the 20th century, he invested in the automobile industry and contributed in creating “Royale Marocaine d’Assurance” insurance company shortly after the independence.
Othman Benjelloun, current Chairman of O CAPITAL GROUP, is a graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique de Lausanne in Switzerland. He is the architect of the Group’s entry into the fields of finance, banking and insurance, as well as its international expansion.
Othman Benjelloun has developed a long-term investment vision based on an in-depth approach and a pragmatic study of the issues. Dedicated to preserving family and human values, highly attentive to details, Mr. Benjelloun is a discreet man widely receptive to the world and his contemporaries. Considered by his peers as a free-thinker, independent and non-conformist, he surrounds himself with the best and builds strategic partnerships to enter different markets and continents.
It is in this humanist perspective that he created in 1967, with the help of his wife, Dr. Leïla Meziane, the Benjelloun-Meziane Foundation, aimed at educating children and restoring historical cultural sites.
His son Kamal Benjelloun is particularly concerned with nature and its preservation. A graduate in human sciences and anthropology, he finances companies in Africa and North and Latin America that specialize in renewable energy and environment protection.
Dounia Benjelloun, the daughter, is a filmmaker and producer. Constantly in search of ambitious projects, Dounia chairs several companies operating in the field of documentary and advertising film production. Her films are regularly awarded internationally.
