The Trellidor
Tanzania franchise, owned by Mark and Lesley Golding of PM Group (T)
Ltd, recently opened an assembly plant, staffed by fully qualified
Trellidor Assemblers. “We see this as a massive opportunity for
expansion and growth for Trellidor Tanzania,” said Ryan Stoltz,
Trellidor International Franchise Manager.
“The franchise
used to receive their Trellidor security gates and burglar grilles
fully assembled from the factory in South Africa, where the products
are made to measure. The Trimshop allows the franchise to assemble
and install the most popular designs far more quickly, significantly
shortening manufacturing lead times on selected security barriers to
local customers.”
Locally assembled
products also lead to potential job creation for additional staff and
the up-skilling of current employees. Stoltz visited the franchise in
July to carry out the required training for assembly staff members
Patrick Karoroba, George Mushi, Laurence Nyalusi, Raphael Msigwa,
Geofrey Mwalukama and Gibson Malekano as well as Mark Golding
(Franchise Owner).
The training took
place at the franchise head office in Dar es Salaam, with the
highlight being an awards ceremony for the now fully qualified
Trellidor Assemblers.
Trellidor
Tanzania joins a growing group of Trellidor Trimshops that currently
includes Mauritius, Reunion, Ghana, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
