FlexLink opens in South Africa

To support the growing industrial production in South Africa and the Sub-Sahara region, FlexLink opens a sales and engineering unit on June 2nd.

The industries on the African continent are rapidly developing and to support them and the global customers, FlexLink is opening a sales and engineering unit in Johannesburg. The new unit opens officially on June 2nd.

“In addition to the direct support to the South African industries, our new unit will serve as a hub for the support of industries in the entire Sub-Sahara region where industrial production growth is particularly strong. This includes countries such as Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria” – concludes Serge Abou-Jaoudé, Area Director for Europe West, Middle East & Africa.

Besides sales and engineering of new installations, the support of the aftermarket for the substantial number of installations with FlexLink technology will be in focus for the new unit. This will be done through technical support hubs in all major industrial regions.

Until now, FlexLink has been represented through partners in South Africa and the cooperation will continue in the same way as in all countries where FlexLink has its own representation. Today, FlexLink has its operating units in 30 countries, and partners in totally 60.
