Mobiserve Holding, a leader in turnkey telecommunication infrastructure solutions and engineering services, announced that Mobifactory, its manufacturing unit, is actively targeting African markets.

The Cairo based manufacturing unit will prdouce towers and shelters to support mobile operators in East Africa, a market set to double its subscriber base to 167 million over the next four years, as well as provide its products and services to other African countries. 

The expansion reflects the growing success achieved by MobiFactory to date and is in line with the Holding group’s overall expansion plans, said a statement.

MobiFactory has been a leading supplier for the Middle East’s foremost telecom operators in Egypt and Africa, including Mobinil, Etisalat, and Telecel Globe. 

Its two main production lines include steel structures and sandwich panels which are used to build telecom shelters.
The steel structure line specialises in the manufacture of a broad range of telecom towers including rooftop and greenfield towers from 9 meters up to 80 meters. 

Its sandwich panel line produces quality telecom shelters designed to accommodate any type of outdoor telecom equipment and is adaptable to any outdoor climate. 

MobiFactory shelters enable telecom operators to quickly and cost-effectively install cellular base stations on both rooftops and green field locations due to their light weight, modular construction. 

In addition to towers and shelters, MobiFactory also produces a variety of site accessories requested for telecom installations such as fences, gates and any other requested components. In East Africa, where the company has recently established a hub in Kenya, it seeks to capitalise on subscriber growth, which is set to increase by 95 per cent over the next four years, led by countries such as Kenya and Tanzania as they begin serving East African countries Kenya, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Burundi.
