SMI has opened a new branch in Nairobi, Kenya to strengthen its presence in Africa. The new branch SMI Machinery East Africa Limited will be a key point of contact for sales and after-sales service for all existing and future SMI customers.

SMI strengthens its presence in East Africa

Thanks to increased international trade, in recent years, Kenya and the East African region have seen significant economic growth and, consequently, increased demand for efficient beverage complete bottling and packaging line solutions.

The SMI Machinery East Africa branch will employ three key figures to begin supporting local customers, who in the last years have turned to the SMI Group for the installation of modern bottling and packaging systems: Vishal Gupta (Managing Director), Giorgio Bonafede (Operations Director), and a service technician. The staff will soon be expanded to include sales, spare parts sales, and technical support personnel to meet the growing demands of the East African market.

 

The headquarters of the new SMI subsidiary is located in Nairobi, in the Parklands neighborhood, a central and easily accessible location. The branch has a spare parts stock for the first support for all African customers.
