Redington, a technology aggregator in emerging markets, has partnered with global digital infrastructure provider Vertiv to expand its reseller network and empower channel partners in Africa to leverage Vertiv’s transformative technology.
This collaboration brings together Vertiv’s leading power and cooling technology and more than 50 years of experience in critical infrastructure services with Redington’s well-established presence and knowledge in developing industries, notably in data center transformation and artificial intelligence (AI).
Vertiv will have additional potential to expand its market share in the regional channel market because of this synergy. Vertiv’s local channel partners and end customers would greatly benefit from Redington’s extensive reach throughout Africa and its robust in-house services staff.
“As Vertiv continues to expand its footprint across Africa, this strategic partnership with Redington marks a significant milestone in our journey,” said Wojtek Piorko, Managing Director for Africa at Vertiv. “Africa is a critical region for Vertiv, and we look forward to supporting local customers in meeting their efficiency, scalability, and sustainability goals in collaboration with Redington.”
The alliance includes all of Vertiv’s IT channel product stack and Integrated Solutions offerings throughout Africa. This enables Redington to provide its wide network of channel partners and end users with the whole portfolio of Vertiv’s cutting-edge technologies.
“At Redington, we’re constantly seeking strategic partnerships that fuel innovation and drive growth across Africa,” said Dharshana Kosgalage, Executive Vice President of the Technology Solutions Group at Redington Middle East and Africa. “Our collaboration with Vertiv exemplifies this commitment. Vertiv’s industry-leading technology perfectly complements our extensive reach, creating a powerful value proposition for businesses across the continent. We’re confident this alliance will catalyze Africa’s digital revolution.”
Redington plans to provide specialized training and partner empowerment sessions to enhance its channel network’s delivery of Vertiv’s portfolio, manage inventory efficiently, and design tailored solutions for customers.
