Weighbridge & Scale Services Limited, an indigenous manufacturing company has successfulLY installed a 70 tonne, 17.5m digital weighbridge platform in GULF FZE, the Snake Island integrated free trade zone in Lagos.
Babatola Oyelesi, the managing director of Weighbridge & Scale Services Limited, said the JAGAL group is the
first multinational company to procure his company’s locally fabricated Nigerian Magic weighbridge for measuring very heavy items. “In less than two months of the commissioning, over 350 trucks have been weighed on the weighbridge. Our locally fabricated weighbridge weighs trucks accurately. The weighing bridge is built to last ,with a rugged design, robust weight sensors due to its high quality manufacturing,” Oyelesi said.
He commended the JAGAL group, particularly the procurement manager, Ian Moodley for patronising a made-in-Nigeria weighbridge. He then urged big multinational companies and Nigerian firms like Dangote Group, BUA Group, Lafarge WAMCO Plc and others to emulate the Jagal Group when purchasing weighbridges for their operations.
“Most of the weighbridges currently being used in Nigeria are not locally fabricated. Decision makers of multinational companies and big Nigerian firms should provide opportunities for SMEs to grow by buying the products they manufacture, as long as they are of good, high quality. After all, the majority of the big companies started small and grew big because their products were given a chance,” Oyelesi reflected.
He further said that to ensure world class services for its clients, his firm has partnered with four top companies, one each in South Africa, Spain, India and China, in order to give its clients world class services.
Weighbridge & Scale Services Ltd is a fast growing indigenous scale solution provider. The company was incorporated August, 2009. Its brand of weighbridge called Nigerian Magic is 15, 17.5 and 18 meter long, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 tons digital meter weighbridge platform which has been built to give precision weighing of heavy items.
