"South Africa has some of the world's leading research institutes on the continent, which is why Eppendorf is deliberately opening its first African site in Johannesburg," explains Dr. Thomas Kel-ler, Senior Vice President Market Region Asia Pacific Africa. "Eppendorf's products have been used in laboratories around the world for decades. In Africa, our products were previously only available through distribution partners. With our own modern location, we are completing our global presence and are now represented on all inhabited continents of the world. With this in-vestment, we are once again strengthening our customer proximity in the region and can even better participate in the growth of the life science industry in Africa."
Customer centricity through local proximity
Eppendorf's new location is in the economic center of Johannesburg. Waterfall City is home to nu-merous international companies from leading sectors, including the life science industry. In addi-tion to 650 square meters of modern office space, the new location offers a service center equipped for repairs of all Eppendorf devices. Calibrations and validations are also offered in the state-of-the-art calibration laboratory. Customers and partners throughout the region will now re-ceive scientific and technical support in the specially equipped Customer Experience Center.
"From Johannesburg, we support our customers in the fields of science, research, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and industry even better by offering them the appropriate products and services locally. This will benefit not only South Africa, but also eleven other Southern African countries. Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Angola, Madagascar, Swaziland, Malawi, and Mauritius are also served from Johannesburg," continues Dr. Thomas Keller. "This in-creased customer proximity also includes the establishment of a modern and new central ware-house for Southern Africa, which is also located in Johannesburg."
