Distribute European pneumatic and hydraulic components to African industrial and mobile equipment markets.
The opportunity
Component manufacturers supply cylinders, valves, pumps, power packs, compressors, air treatment, hoses and fittings for both fixed industrial plant and mobile equipment.
Why the African market works for this product line
Anything that lifts, presses, clamps or moves in African industry runs on hydraulics or compressed air, and every one of those systems consumes seals, hoses and filters. Mining and agriculture equipment fleets add heavy replacement demand.
Who European manufacturers want to meet
- Fluid power distributors and hose service centres
- Mining, agriculture and construction fleet workshops
- Machine builders and maintenance contractors
- Industrial MRO distributors
