Project abstractMenkem International Business, an Ethiopian company specialised in importing machineries, automobiles and spare parts from Korea, Middle East and Europe and exporting agricultural products to Asian markets, is searching for companies from Finland who could cooperate in production of generic car parts, spare parts and components for automobiles and vehicles. The forma of cooperation could be licensing or outsourcing production or joint venture later.
Project description
The company, established in 2007, is based in Addis Ababa and currently employs 29 persons.
The company’s main products include importing machineries, automobiles and spare parts, which they source from Korea, Middle East and Europe.
In Ethiopia most of the cars are from e.g. the Middle East and the durability of cars is weak. The company has concentrated in the car business for the previous 5 years and have had difficulties in finding spare parts in Ethiopia. There is a remarkable shortage of spare parts and various machinery equipment and materials.
Therefore, Menkem International is looking for partners to start the production of generic car components and spare parts such as oil filters, ventilation filter and others. Menkem is first considering licensing the production of the parts, but could be interested in a more profound cooperation such as a JV also.
Because of the low quality of the different spare parts in the local market, the MM company would also be interested in production of tires. In the longer term, the company is hoping to start an assembly line facility of automobiles in Ethiopia.
Finally, Menkem Int. is also planning to expand their agribusiness and acquire abattoir and packaging machinery. The company does export in oil seeds, nuts and livestock.
