Trimble opens West Africa office

By Fred SARPONG
Trimble Navigation Limited has officially opened its West Africa Regional office in Accra to expand its presence in the sub-region.

The office, opened last week, will focus on expanding and enhancing Trimble’s collaboration with regional stakeholders, including local distribution partners to enable the company to provide better service, support and training for customers in the region.

In addition, Trimble has added dedicated resources in its funded projects and emerging markets group to engage in multi-lateral development funded projects that can benefit from Trimble’s solutions.
Over the last five years, Trimble has worked on contracts funded by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), the World Bank, as well as African federal, national and state agencies, to provide GNSS receivers and reference stations, total stations, digital levels and a variety of other solutions for African development projects.
‘The opening of the Ghana office is an important extension of our presence to better serve the western and central regions of Africa,’ said Steven W. Berglund, Trimble President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

He stated that they see this as an opportunity to better service their customers and assist in Africa’s economic development and infrastructure efforts, especially in the areas of transportation, agriculture, water and natural resource management, land administration and energy.
According to Berglund, Trimble’s success is based on providing customer value and adapting to the needs of the markets.

‘Trimble has grown to be a global company with 120 locations in 30 countries and we have 1,000 distribution partners in core segments,’ he added.
The US Ambassador to Ghana, Donald Teitelbaum, said the development of Ghana’s economic stability is very important to US companies.

He stated that US Government has identified some areas as a hindrance to businesses. These are access to credit, power supply, land tenure and water supply.
