Since opening its Low-Voltage (LV) manufacturing facility in Kenya in July last year, electrical equipment and services supplier ACTOM has identified several growth opportunities in the region.
Kelvin Ageng’o Oriwo, General Manager of ACTOM Kenya, says while the factory has been heavily focused on the LV space, it recently built its first Medium-Voltage (MV) protection panel.
“Since we are the only manufacturer in East Africa who builds MV protection panels, we expect this to be a key area of growth for us across the East Africa region, specifically in the Kenyan, Ugandan and Tanzanian markets,” says Oriwo.
He adds that ACTOM Kenya has recently secured various “mission-critical” contracts, such as for the supply of LV Panel BlokSets to Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda. “The orders from Kenya and Rwanda are critical as the pharmaceuticals sector is a quality- and specification-sensitive space. This therefore speaks to our strength in terms of product quality and guarantees, alongside our capacity to service clients specifically concerned with assurance and quality,” stated Kelvin.
