This comes after generating many promising trade leads during the fair last week.

Dr Khulile Mtsetfwa, CEO of Swatek Defence and Aerospace, stated on Friday that the company signed three memoranda of understanding focusing on distribution lines in Algeria.

The company specialises in the design and manufacture of quality wiring harness, military dashboards, battery boxes, dashboard test bench and providing innovative electrical solutions to defence, aerospace, aviation, rail and automotive sectors.

“The plan is to make sure that we build relations and maintain the line of communication with country agents and distributors in order to penetrate the Algerian market and the rest of the continent,’ said Mtsetfwa.
