Eaton Hydraulics - Extends its footprint into Sub-Saharan Africa

Well known global technology leader, Eaton, has a strong foot-hold on the Southern African market and is extending it's hydraulics footprint by opening by opening Sales Liaison offices in East and West Africa.

Emil Berning, General Manager of the region tells us, "The Eaton offering of Fluid Conveyance and Power and Motion Control products is in such demand that we could no longer ignore the need to have direct presence for strategic growth in key African countries with a particular focus in the mining sector." He adds, "Eaton Hydraulics mining components are designed to deliver a unique solution to your operation. Eaton can address its customers' key power management challenges at all six stages of the mining process: Exploration, Production Drill and Blast, Load and Haul, Crush and Screen, Material Handing and Processing. We have a range of proven products and services that deliver consistent uptime, without compromising safety."

The regional liaison offices will be focusing on expanding the current distribution and service partner network as well as liaising with original equipment manufacturers and system integrators to provide end users with the right product and service solutions.

Emil finishes off by adding, "Our East Africa office, located in Nairobi Kenya, opened in October and during the early part of 2013, Eaton will be adding even further value to our customers and future customers with a West African regional office too."
