SNVI (Société Nationale des Véhicules Industriels, National Company of Industrial Vehicles in English, or المؤسسة الوطنية للعربات الصناعية in Arabic), formerly the National Society of Mechanical Construction (SONACOME), is an Algerian company that has produced trucks and buses since 1967.
History
Sonacome was founded by the Algerian government on August 9, 1967, through ordonnance 67-150. It inherited colonial Berliet factories and equipment after the latter ceased operations in 1973.[1]
In May 1995, SNVI changed its legal status to become a public economic company governed by common law; SNVI was then set up as a joint-stock company (SPA) with a share capital of 2.2 billion Dinars.
