OCP Maintenance Solutions and NTN Europe have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at providing European industrial companies with an integrated predictive maintenance offering, with France set to become the first market for deployment.
The partnership was signed on September 21, 2026, in El Jadida, Morocco. The two companies plan to initially roll out the solution in France before gradually expanding their cooperation to other European markets.
Through the partnership, NTN Europe, a subsidiary of Japan’s NTN Corporation, will contribute its expertise in bearings, rotating equipment and industrial diagnostics, notably through its SNR brand.
OCP Maintenance Solutions, meanwhile, will bring its i-Sense and i-Predict technologies, which are designed to monitor industrial equipment and support predictive analysis.
The joint offering is intended to cover several stages of the maintenance process, from identifying critical equipment and collecting operational data to diagnosis, decision-making support and assistance to technical teams.
By combining vibration analysis with artificial intelligence, the partners aim to help industrial operators anticipate certain equipment failures, improve maintenance planning and contribute to greater availability of industrial installations.
France to serve as the first European market
France will be the first stage of the European rollout. The two partners plan to progressively extend the cooperation to other markets across the continent.
The agreement follows several months of collaboration between the teams of NTN Europe and OCP Maintenance Solutions. Joint testing campaigns have been carried out on bearings and rotating equipment using NTN Europe’s technical facilities.
The two companies also have previous deployment experience in Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire, Pakistan and India.
For OCP Maintenance Solutions, a key objective is to turn data generated by industrial equipment into actionable information for decision-making. Analyzing this data can help maintenance teams better anticipate potential failures and schedule interventions more effectively.
“Industrial companies are no longer looking only for high-performance technologies; they are looking for measurable results,” said Abdenour Jbili, Chief Executive Officer of OCP Maintenance Solutions.
According to Jbili, the partnership is expected to contribute to improving equipment availability and the performance of industrial operations.
Eric Malavasi, Vice President of NTN Europe, highlighted the value of combining NTN’s expertise in rotating equipment with the predictive maintenance technologies developed by OCP Maintenance Solutions.
The partnership marks a further step in the international development of Moroccan predictive maintenance solutions and their deployment among European industrial operators.
