In a groundbreaking move to advance industrial automation and safety solutions in West Africa, Greenpeg has launched the region’s largest Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) Hub in Lagos, Nigeria. This milestone signals a shift towards reducing reliance on foreign expertise while strengthening local technological capabilities.
The high-profile ribbon-cutting ceremony in Lagos drew top government officials, including the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, who represented the Governor, alongside Honourable Olatubosun Alake, Commissioner of Innovation, Science, and Technology. Also in attendance were key executives from Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Pepperl+Fuchs, underscoring the hub’s significance in transforming Africa’s industrial landscape.
For decades, Africa’s industrial sector has depended on foreign expertise for critical ICSS solutions, leading to high operational costs and project delays. Greenpeg’s state-of-the-art facility aims to change this narrative by providing end-to-end design, installation, and maintenance of control panels, switchgear, and safety systems—entirely developed locally. This move enhances efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and knowledge transfer within the sector.
