China’s leading elevator company, Xizi Elevator Co. Limited, in collaboration with Eliel Jerahmeal Nigeria Limited, a firm of marketing, distribution, sales and services of elevator and escalator equipment, has announced Xizi brand of elevators and escalators’ entry into the market.
Elief Jerameal Nigeria Chairman, Mr. Ayo Adefemi, said Xizi elevators and escalators are of world-class standards and Nigeria as a developing country and other African countries would benefit from its services.
He said Eliel Jerahmeal, which has obtained exclusive rights from Xizi Elevator Co, based on the partnership, is authorised to bring the equipment into the Nigerian market for distribution, sales installation and services at affordable rate, compared to the ones already on ground.
“The company, after investigation, discovered that Eliel Jerameal is strong in Nigeria. So, the president of Xizi signed a letter of authorisation for our company to market this equipment in West Africa, including Benin Republic, Cameroon, Nigeria and Ghana,” Adefemi said.
Adefemi, who spoke at the unveiling of the brand in Lagos, during the week, explained that Xizi elevator goes for residential, hotel, office building, hospital, industry, shopping mall and others.
“We are bringing the same quality as obtained in other parts of the world into the market at really affordable prices. Xizi Elevator Company has exceptional technology that is unique and preferred globally. So, the technology would deliver desired results to the end users in Nigeria and other West African countries,” Adefemi said.
He added that Xizi elevator has a top-notch industry technology Research & Development (R&D) team and engineering personnel, with over 300 R&D engineers and national laboratory and over 30 primary constructors.
“Our confidence is that this brand of elevator technology is tested and it has delivered in almost every part of the world and Africa will not be an exception especially in Nigeria,” he stated.
Xizi brand of elevators and escalators is energy saving. The Xizi elevator, for instance, has stood the test of time, becoming the number one national brand in China since 1996 and the first elevator export to Vienam.
