To strengthen its position on the African continent the machine producer Forel has started the cooperation with Afam Ike, a well-known sales and service manager with experience in the glass business. Afam Ike has been working for more than 25 years in the glass machinery trade in African Countries. Here are the details.

As Forel explains, Afam Ike has a deep knowledge of the most important local glass factories and the markets on the African continent. Thanks to its connections with African glaziers, Forel seeks to improve its presence in the region by delivering its machinery to new customers for the African market.

“I joined the glass industry in 1993 and have worked in the different areas of this business,” says Afam Ike. “My experience covers the whole of Africa as I was at different times a manager of business development, sales manager, regional director for Africa and managing director of after-sales services. I’m very glad to join the Forel team: I really appreciate their commitment, their machinery and their business philosophy.”

Afam Ike brings 25 years of professional experience in Africa to his position at Forel.
