Daikin Reaffirms Commitment to Growth, Expansion in Nigeria

Daikin Industries of Japan, the global leader in developing and manufacturing air conditioning, heating, ventilation, and refrigeration (HVAC-R) products and solutions, has reaffirmed its commitment to expansion and growth in the Nigerian market.
This position was echoed by the Chairman/ Managing Director of Daikin India, Kanwaljeet Jawa when he led a high-powered delegation of the company on a visit of the factory and assembly plant of its Nigerian partner- Sacral Industries Limited.
According to Jawa, Daikin has made significant investments in the Indian market to prepare for the export market, especially to the African continent. He stressed that the company is committed to taking advantage of market opportunities in line with its aspiration to become a dominant brand in the African market.
“India can cater to the Nigerian market very well because the needs are similar, if you look at it from the standpoint of price, people’s requirements, processes, systems and brand. So, the combination of innovative Japanese technologies and the partner’s understanding of the local market will help a great deal in becoming number one in the market,” he said.
While expressing immense satisfaction with the enormous work done by its partner, DaiTech Nigeria Limited, in the areas of knowledge transfer through skill enhancement and training, production scaling, and the delivery of eco-friendly products in the market, he acknowledged that the penetration of air conditioning was still low in Nigeria.
In his remarks, Chairman of Sacral Industries Limited, Bhojraj Rupani, expressed excitement about the renewed partnership with Daikin, noting that it was poised to deliver the best quality and affordable products to Nigerian customers.
Rupani noted that given its established presence and potential in the Nigerian market, he was confident that Daikin would make consistent progress.
“With DaiTech, we are building a strong base here for Daikin. Given the potential of a market like Nigeria, we are confident we will work together to make consistent progress and bring the best quality and price that Daikin is now working to offer in the market. We feel privileged to partner with Daikin and bring the best of Daikin to Nigeria,” he said.
