Practical Realization of Nigerian Content:

ALCON NIGERIA establishes In-Country LV Panel Building Facility.

Alcon Nigeria Limited, an indigenous EPIC company with existence for more than thirty (30) years in Nigeria and an outstanding track record in delivering turn-key projects that meet high safety and quality standards, matching world best practices, has further taken a giant stride in pioneering the drive to prove that local capacity if sustained can indeed meet international standards.

 

This was realised with the establishment of an in-country Low-Voltage Panel Building Facility, equipped with state of the art tools, machinery, and a dedicated fully functional operational environment for the assembly of Low-Voltage panels.

 

The initiative was given birth by a strategic move taken by Alcon Nigeria to implement the commitments on her Nigerian Content Equipment Certificate (NCEC) business plan (issued by the NCDMB), to realise a Technology Transfer Initiative and further develop an in-country assembling facility. Indeed this has been achieved with her graduation from a Product Channel Partner of ABB International to an Authorized Panel Builder of ABB on Low- Voltage range of products to serve the Nigerian market and beyond.

Prior to this, Alcon Nigeria has successfully engaged its local workforce in foreign training (technology transfer), so as to enable them acquire the requisite experience to optimally operate this world class facility.

As a look ahead Alcon Nigeria has further signed a joint MOU with NCDMB and SPDC to develop a larger facility to cater for the growing demands of the Oil and Gas industry which will be situated at the SPDC Industrial Area in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. This initiative is part of SPDC’s commitment to support indigenous organizations identified with a consistent track record in developing their in-country capacity.

 

With the championing of this course, this local capacity developed by Alcon Nigeria would surely have to be patronized so as to ensure growth to attain greater heights and further consolidate. This we owe to the development of Nigerian Content, ensure you play your part.
