Flora Zhang, Senior Sales Manager of Shan-
tui said, “This event served as the ideal plat-
form for our customers to view our products.
A number of African economies are still in
the infancy stages of development and, as
a result, many projects do not necessarily
have highly skilled technicians or the re-
quired hardware and software for advanced
diagnostics. Instead, they require a simple
yet robust machine that is able to withstand
the harsh African climate and operating con-
ditions, and emerging economies now rec-
ognise and trust the Shantui brand to meet
these unique demands,” she concluded.
EverStar Industries is committed to massive
growth and support for Shantui and in this
regard has appointed Shantui dealers in
Jet Park, Pietermaritzburg, North West and
Limpopo. Technical and product training has
and will continuously be provided to these
dealers so that customers can be comfort-
able in the knowledge that the equipment
will always be maintained according to the
best global practices.
