Mammoet sets up Mozambique base

Heavy lifting and transport specialist Mammoet has set up a permanent base of heavy lifting and transport equipment in Mozambique, Africa. Until now Mammoet says it has worked in Mozambique on a project-by-project basis.

The equipment, plus an office, are located in Mocímboa da Praia, in the Cabo Delgado province of Mozambique. The office will be centrally managed by Mammoet’s South African office and is geared up to deliver heavy lifting and transport services across the country.

Davide Andreani, general manager of Mammoet South and East Africa, said, “The outlook of Mozambique’s economy is positive. Particularly as capital investments have been growing significantly in the past few years. Mammoet locates its global fleet close to our customers anywhere in the world they need us, in order to serve them swiftly and efficiently. It demonstrates our commitment to be part of, and to contribute to the Mozambique community, working with local people, utilising the local workforce, training and offering professional development opportunities to help grow our business and the local economy.”
