Leslie P. Andrews, Managing Director of pumps solutions provider DESMI Africa, has announced that the company is expanding into the Nigerian market and will be opening a second office.

The Nigerian branch will be located in Lagos, and the young startup team consists of Office Manager Najeeba Abdulmajeed Owolabi and the sales team Philbertus Mujuni, Collins Ugochukwu Afoaku and Elijah Sobalaje Ogunniran. 

Commenting on the expansion, Andrews said: “We have sold our solutions to Nigeria for more than 20 years – and it is now time to take further steps into the Nigerian market being even closer to our customers and partners.

He added: “The Nigerian market is a huge market to service, and with the increasing demand for our solutions both within oil spill and pumps, it makes perfect sense to have our presence, team, and knowledge, locally.

“Being here locally, with our own office, is a milestone, and our goals have been set. We have high expectations. We want to be one of the most preferred brands with our flow technology solutions within oil spill response, marine debris trash, engine room pumps for marine and utilities, and much more. An exciting future is ahead of us in Nigeria.”
