Johannesburg office extends tna's African reach

Hot on the heels of opening a European manufacturing hub in the UK and a representative office in Brazil, Australian packaging solutions specialist tna has taken the next step in its global expansion strategy with the opening of a new regional office in Johannesburg, South Africa.

“As the continent’s largest economy and with rapidly rising levels of urbanisation and increased consumer spending over the past few years, South Africa is a key market for the global packaging industry,” the company said.

The South African office will host tna sales and service staff and will provide the company with a direct link to their growing local customer base in South Africa and across the wider African continent.

“We are pleased to further expand our global reach with the opening of a new South Africa office,” tna managing director, Michael Green, said.

“We’ve been actively involved in the African market for over 10 years and are excited about the opportunity to provide our customers here with a dedicated contact base.
“Our new office in Johannesburg will not only allow us to react to local trends and developments quickly, but more importantly it will enable us to better serve our growing customer base in the region.

“Together with our representative in Egypt, we are now very well positioned to cater for the specific needs of customers across the entire African continent.”

The South African office is the company’s third facility opening this year following the  introduction of a new office in São Paulo, Brazil and the launch of its European manufacturing hub in Birmingham, UK.
