Bosch Rexroth appoints new Nigerian distributor

Fourth Quarter 2023 News & events

Bosch Rexroth Africa Development (BRAD) has appointed AETOS Technical Services (AETOS) as an official distributor in Nigeria. This allows AETOS to sell and support all the products and technologies in the Bosch Rexroth South Africa (BRSA) portfolio. AETOS is a leading provider of industrial components and solutions to industries that include oil and gas, marine, power generation, mining and cement.

AETOS will focus predominantly on the oil and gas sector, which is growing rapidly in West Africa. “The Bosch Rexroth South Africa product line fits perfectly with our current offering of industrial component supplies,” says BRAD business development manager, Louis Potter. “AETOS has supplied major oil and gas companies with various mechanical components, and our offering is complementary to that of AETOS.”

AETOS will also support other industries such as processing and packaging, electricity supply, cement and sugar. It now has access to all products and services Bosch Rexroth South Africa has to offer. These consist of hydraulics, pneumatics, electric drives and controls, linear motion and assembly technologies, tightening systems, and service solutions. To further solidify its footprint, AETOS has invested in a hose and fitting workshop to service the local market with hose and fitting assemblies.

BRAD runs ongoing training sessions for AETOS staff on product- and process-specific topics. The training is conducted virtually by various specialists within the Bosch Rexroth South Africa group. AETOS will also leverage its technical expertise and solutions when promoting and selling BRSA’s products and services.
