A country with mineral wealth, including iron, Algeria is committed to the development of its industrial fabric, a large part of which depends on its mechanical production performance. Even if it is in constant progress, this segment of industrial production requires much more sustained efforts to establish an efficient national industry.
For example, during 1963, 3,800 tonnes of metal packaging were produced, the same figure having been reached in 1962. This stagnation is due to the reorganization of the canned food industry, its main outlet. The measures adopted this year in this area will make it possible to return to the annual level of 5,000 tonnes.
In 1963, the two main metal construction companies produced nearly 10,500 tonnes of structural, boilerwork and locksmith parts, compared to 6,500 tonnes in 1962.
