Turkish household appliance maker builds factory in Uyo

MAY 15, 2015 : ANNA OKON
Turkey-based multinational brand, Beko, has said it is building its first multimillion-dollar household appliances manufacturing plant in Nigeria in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State.

More and more foreign investors are attracted to Nigeria as a preferred investment destination in West Africa even as local business owners complain that it is difficult for businesses to thrive in the country.

In addition to Pepkor, a South African clothing chain, Beko which recently opened its second showroom in Lagos, is another multinational brand that is making plans to establish more outlets in Nigeria. The company recently announced plans to open seven more showrooms in the country before the end of 2015.

According to the Corporate Business Development and Marketing Manager, Beko Nigeria, Mr. Inyang Umoh Ekere, though the company has been in Africa for years, the owners consider Nigeria to be the gateway to the subregion and an important player in their expansion bid.

He said, “Our presence here is to proceed from here to the entire subregion. We intend to rule the market. We have been in Nigeria for many years and what we are currently doing is rebranding and reintroducing our products into the market.

“Our target market is upwardly mobile young Nigerians. That is why our catchphrase is, ‘powered by smart generation.’ Most Nigerians are tending towards the direction of good and smart products that can perform multiple functions in one application.

A statement from the company described Beko as a domestic appliance and consumer electronics brand of Arcelik A.S controlled by Koc.

According to the statement, the company has won several international awards mostly as energy-efficient home appliance manufacturer. “It is the second largest market for household appliance in the United Kingdom, controlling 14 per cent of the cooler and seven per cent of the washing market in England,” the statement read.

I so much believe we are moving forward. Though it might not be observable to people who are not observable enough. If u are one that knows how to pay attention to details, u will know that as a country we have made progress so far. #sofarsogood

Op u forgot something.. With d aim to zap d remaining dangling economy.

bro, 100days!! Hope so, bt i doubt it. **Sai chanji** in aboki's voice

GEJ came short of expectation when he failed to relocate the capital of Nigeria to Akwaibom.

Akwaibom has earned that status.

yea I know it's not feasible that's why I called it a miracle, but sincerely, I so much desire stability in electricity supply #Sai change

Nice one....... we need more of this here.. You can't just monopolize the industries in one region... even when they people there are lazy and are not business orientated.

This a welcome development

broda, i tell you, apart from free and fear elections, na power be d next, den Nigeria is good. May God help d new government.

Media propaganda, they started with household factory then showed us pictures of a printing press. The truth will soon be revealed; its just a matter of time.

I hope we can conquer all our infrastructural problem, electricity, manufacturing and standard of living the way we quashed ebola.

Thumbs up to the people of Akwa Ibom and Beko industries.

That's a welcomed development but companies should not be allowed build their factories in Uyo Capital city. Imagine Uyo in 10 years with population boom, imagine congested ikot ekpene road & Nwaniba road. Companies should be permitted to build factories especially at Oron & its regions closer to the atlantic
