Rolls-Royce teamed up with Karimjee Group, which owns the energy company Sterling Generators, to sell power solutions in Tanzania.
The London-listed aerospace and defense company, which also manufactures power systems for aviation and other industries, said Tuesday that it would deliver power solutions under its MTU brand, using Karimjee Group's market presence and distribution network.
Rolls-Royce's MTU brand includes diesel and gas systems and battery containers, which it says will suit the energy demands of the Eastern African country.
"Our collaboration with Karimjee is a significant milestone in our efforts to expand our presence in Africa," said Cobus van Schalkwyk, managing director at Rolls-Royce Solutions Africa, which is headquartered in Cape Town. "Together, we will provide Tanzanian industries with the energy solutions they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive global market."
The U.K. manufacturer is expanding its foothold in East Africa because it has identified an opportunity in its increasing demand for engines running on sustainable fuels to generate electricity and power locomotives and ships.
