ST Kinetics appoints TATA Engineering as distributor in Africa

It will boost customer support to 13 more countries.

ST Kinetics, the land systems arm of ST Engineering, announced the appointment of Tata International as the distributor for its TRXBUILD and LeeBoy brands of heavy construction and road construction equipment in Africa. 

Tata International, the global trading arm of India’s Tata group, will distribute TRXBUILD and LeeBoy products and provide customer support in East, West, South and Central Africa.

The appointment of Tata International will see a significant expansion of ST Kinetics’ distribution and customer support network in Africa beyond its existing dealers in Algeria, DR Congo and Tanzania to 13 other African countries: Angola, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Customers in these economies will not only benefit from a range of equipment catering to the mining, infrastructure development, road construction and maintenance sectors, but will also benefit from Tata International’s established customer support network.

Tata International’s operations in Africa are managed by its wholly owned subsidiary, Tata Africa Holdings, based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Among the first foreign companies to enter Africa, Tata International spearheaded TATA group’s commercial operations in the continent that began in 1977 in Zambia.
