Zinox expands assembly plant, to deploy robotics
ZINOX Technologies Ltd., SubSaharan Africa’s foremost tech giant, has finalized arrangements to expand its hardware assembly and production capacity with the acquisition of a 129,166.925 square feet warehouse.
The company is also considering the deployment of Robotics in handling the certification processes in the new assembly plant which will be located in Ogba-ikeja, Lagos.
Through the new facility, Zinox will assemble the products and devices of other multinational Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) which it has recently signed agreements with in a bid to domes- ticate technology and generate employment opportunities for many unemployed but skilled Nigerians.
The move, which will significantly boost Zinox’s assembling capacity, is also in line with the company’s Future Visions mandate which is targeted at anticipating the future of technology and creating products for the savvy consumers in areas such as Internet of Things (IOTS), Robotics, Artificial Intelligence etc.
A Nigerian-based OEM that has endured the peculiar pains and challenges that have stifled many businesses in the nation’s technology sector, Zinox has enjoyed a measure of confidence and patronage from several blue-chip companies and multinationals such as Shell, Chevron, Total among others, for whom it has supplied high-end personal computers (PCS), laptops, workstations, desktop units, monitors and other accessories.
Gideon Ayogu, Head of
Corporate Communications at Zinox disclosed that the new assembly plant will help the company expand its capacity to meet the changing demands of a dynamic market and employ more Nigerians.
“As Nigeria’s IT identity, we have not lost focus of the fact that no country can claim to be independent until it achieves technology independence.
