Rand-Air is well known for offering its customers a wide range of equipment and services where customer service and satisfaction – not to mention a stringent adherence to safety and quality standards – are central to the company’s core business ethos. This same commitment will be offered by Atlas Copco Rental in East Africa.
Atlas Copco Rental Business Development Manager East Africa Hillary Kiongo says that expansion into the East African region is important for the company: “In East Africa there is active oil and gas exploration, which is in the upstream phase,” he points out.
“There are also significant deposits viable for commercial production to be found in Uganda and Kenya. Commercial gas deposits have in addition been found in Tanzania and Madagascar, with much midstream and downstream activity expected soon,” he adds.
Kiongo explains that these developments have reinforced the establishment of a dedicated team responsible for rental business within the region, active across Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Madagascar and the entire East African region.
There are a number of turnkey projects currently underway in the region, including the Lamu Port Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET), the Kenya/Uganda/Rwanda railway and the Kenyan oil pipeline from Mombasa to Nairobi, and further to Uganda and Rwanda.
“The company will be offering holistic solutions for all our customers’ rental, service and support requirements. We will also be able to tailor products and services according to their needs.
In addition, and in line with our parent company’s approach, we adhere strictly to the in-country financial, operational and logistical regulations. This ensures that our regional customers enjoy a seamless and hassle-free experience,” Kiongo enthuses.
There are a large number of multi-nationals making their presence felt here, and these companies are looking for reliable equipment and services to meet their requirements.
Atlas Copco Rental East Africa is well-positioned to be their first choice in compressed air, power and other industrial equipment,” concludes Hillary.
