With a new distributor located in Nigeria’s oil and
gas hub, residents in Port Harcourt and
neighbouring cities will have faster access to
products.
Energy management giant, Schneider Electric, has
signed up a new distributor, Okelco Global
Resources for its products in Port Harcourt, Rivers
State.
Okelco will distribute Schneider Electric's products
in the South-South and South-Eastern parts of the
country.
In a chat with the the media this week, the
Marketing Communications Manager of Schneider
Electric, Viviane Mike-Eze, said the inauguration of
the distributor, which was witnessed by
representatives of Nigerian Content Development
and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) among others, will
ensure easy access to the company's products in
the zone, including for oil and gas companies.
She added that Okelco’s brief goes beyond
distributorship and delves into panel building and
assembly.
According to her, the increased availability of
Schneider Electric products and solutions would
positively impact the different segments of
application, namely buildings/real estate, industry,
infrastructure, data centre and oil and gas.
With a new distributor located in Nigeria’s oil and
gas hub, residents in Port Harcourt and
neighbouring cities will have faster access to
Schneider Electric products.
Resellers in this region will enjoy proximity to a
state-of-the-art wholesale facility, the company has
said.
“This is also a deliberate attempt to combat fakes
and imitations as our distributor shall ensure prompt
supply for every demand of original product range
from Schneider Electric and its partners," said Mike-
Eze.
