Monday 10 October 2011 Ethiopia: Baraton Trading P.L.C signed an agreement with Furukawa, a Japanese company, to import hydraulic breakers and rock drills.
The deal is expected to ease the problems faced by Ethiopian contractors to obtain the construction materials. It is expected that Furukawa will deliver 20 units of hydraulic drills and 19 units of rock drills by December. Baraton Trading P.L.C is required to fill a sale quota for the units. Local rental and construction companies have already purchased some of the units on offer. Baraton Trading has invested 9 million birr to supply spare parts for the machines which will be delivered by the end of November. This is expected to ensure that spare parts shortages faced by previous importers of Furakawa products will no longer be an issue. The Ethiopian agent is in the process of obtaining a couple of vehicles, as mobile workshops, particularly designed with the capacity to provide maintenance services for the machines, according to Aboma Taye, Baraton General Manager. Major competitors to the Furukawa products here in Ethiopia are expected to be the popular Korean made drilling machines and breakers. Source: Capital
