Racking aid for Ethiopian health initiative

After careful evaluation on price, technical ability, past performance and future projects, Raxel was awarded the contract ahead of two international storage equipment manufacturers.

The racking procurement contributed to the logistics and storage activities of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Supply Chain Management (SCMS) program USAID is the United States foreign policy assistance agency that works to improve lives in developing countries.

Raxel managing director Matt Daniele commented, "To be benchmarked against leading international manufacturers, acknowledges the company’s ability, performance, service and of course our ability to compete at this level."

Apart from supplying 27,000 pallet positions including additional beams and guards to the ten individual distribution sites, Raxel had to include for tooling and equipment, plus comprehensive onsite training in Addis Ababa for 25 staff from a local contractor and the customer. Once completed, Raxel had to ensure that all staff were fully competent in all areas of pallet racking installation and maintenance, based on recognised industry standards and SEMA’s guidelines.
