Tranos, an African engineering and manufacturing solutions provider, has officially broken ground on a world-class production facility in Ogun State.
This new facility will focus on expanding Tranos’ production capacity in areas like solar panel manufacturing, gas generator assembly, cable management systems, power distribution and panels, and various other components. The project is a significant step in Tranos’ commitment to powering Nigeria’s industrial future and promoting local production capacity.
This milestone marks a significant step towards realizing the company’s mission to drive industrial innovation across the continent.
Speaking at the event, Chief Executive Officer of Tranos, June Abalaka said today’s groundbreaking ceremony is more than a construction milestone. “It is an investment in Africa’s industrial future. This campus will scale our production, create jobs, and deliver solutions aligned with Nigeria’s energy and infrastructure ambitions.”
Abalaka sais the first phase will include a modern production floor and offices, with automation and Industry 4.0 features.
“The facility will protect existing jobs and generate hundreds of new roles, from engineers and technicians to production and administrative staff.
“Employees will work in an environment designed with ergonomics, natural light, and advanced ventilation, aligned with global standards.
“Empowering industries across Africa. Tranos’ trusted product portfolio will include: cable management systems, IEC type-tested power distribution panels, electrical and mechanical enclosures, industrial gaskets, pre-fabricated substation skids, and many more.
These solutions will ensure efficiency, safety, and reliability in mission-critical environments across power, energy, oil & gas, telecoms, and manufacturing,” he added.
This development comes as Ogun State continues to attract significant investments, solidifying its position as Nigeria’s industrial hub. Recently, Dangote announced plans to build a seaport and expand cement production in the state, while Inner Galaxy Group is investing $400 million in a Stellar Steel Plant project. These investments underscore the state’s potential for industrial growth and economic development.
