A round African cooking module, perfectly suitable for preparing the East African “Nsima” mush speciality, a kind of porridge made with white cornmeal, or the West African “Fufu”, a porridge made with mashed tubers, is one of the numerous innovations, which takes the eating habits of different tribes into consideration. Another highlight of the Kärcher Futuretech “World of Color“ consisted in solutions in the area of mobile water purification. At this exhibition, the focus was on the mobile Waterclean WTC 500 RO purification system which is able to produce up to 10,000 litres of palatable drinking water per day. Kärcher Futuretech Product Manager Dr. Patrick Marcus was there to provide information about the latest innovations, such as the Water Bottling Plant 700 and the Water Packaging System 1600. Textile protective clothing and devices for the decontamination of wounded persons completed the equipment on show at the southernmost tip of Africa. “The exhibition was a success for Kärcher Futuretech: this was made evident by the fact that an increasing number of African delegations are showing enthusiasm for our products. The African market has a big growth potential that we intend our business to share in over the coming years,“ concluded Abdelhamid Jaouid.
After the exhibition, the professional Sales Manager in charge of Africa continued his trip to Banjul, the capital of Gambia. Following an invitation from the President of Gambia, Alhaji Dr. Yahya Jammeh, Abdelhamid Jaouid presented Kärcher and its worldwide activities in the “State House“, putting special emphasis on systems needed for peace-keeping measures. The Kärcher representative did not leave the smallest mainland state in Africa before handing over a battery-operated high-pressure cleaner (Hybrid Cleaner K HC 10) to the West African President.
