The Opportunity...  Exporting to Africa presents a unique set of challenges which many companies find daunting. Concerns include getting paid, international bank trade, dealing with local procurement regulations, secure shipment, inspection agencies, lead qualification and corruption. As a result European manufacturers often overlook this marketplace.   The simple facts are Africa imports the vast majority of its technology requirements, it is a rapidly expanding market and in our experience the end users want and need current technology solutions.

 

Introducing… 

Ocean Systems (UK) Ltd was founded in 1998 to serve the emerging technology markets of Africa.  

We are experienced in technology distribution and work with some of the most successful international businesses to develop their African operations. 

We are recognised by the UKTI as experts in this region and put simply we aim to make the seemingly difficult, easy.

As an organisation we are fully versed in the vagaries of international trade. We realise the importance of local contacts and the different methods of business in African countries. Our contacts include some very senior political figures and high profile people within the African business community. These relationships have been forged over many years of trading. 

This unique capability means that we have access to some of the largest African business, government ministries and international aid organisations.

 

Unique Track Record... 

We currently trade in Ghana, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, The Gambia, Kenya & Tanzania and our track record speaks for itself . Listed below is a small sample of the some of the African businesses we work with and some of the manufacturers we have helped.
