“As the sole distributer of the McCloskey International brand in Southern Africa, HPE Africa has committed itself to being a full stocking dealer, and will be furnished to provide the support that is required to properly maintain the McCloskey International range of equipment and its customer relationships. HPE Africa will also be keeping a full backup of stock to service all of these machines, while McCloskey International has committed itself to providing in-depth and comprehensive training to all HPE Africa technicians in order to ensure that they are fully certified on the entire range.”
