SILAFRICA, the manufacturer of Simtank water storage solutions has reaffirmed its commitment to innovation as it works to meet the growing needs of customers while promoting sustainability in the country.
SILAFRICA's Country CEO Mr Alpesh Patel said the company remains focused on providing reliable and high-quality products as demand for water storage continues to increase.
“Since we introduced simtank in the country more than three decades ago, we have remained dedicated to advancing technology, improving logistics, and driving innovation to serve our customers better,” said Mr Patel during the 35 years celebration of simtank presence in the country's market.
The demand for the storage per month is ranging between 6,000 and 10,000 pcs of tanks.
The number is increasing due to the rising awareness among households and businesses on the importance of reliable water storage solutions and water scarcity to some areas.
In addition, the company holds more than 60 per cent of the country’s water storage solution market, signifying its efforts to continue surviving in the business.
The anniversary celebration also included an awards ceremony honoring the company’s top-performing dealers.
The company currently works with 110 active dealers nationwide and provides employment to approximately 390 Tanzanians.
Since launching its operation in the country in 1992, the company has sold more than five million tanks, with a combined water storage capacity of around 13 billion liters.
Despite challenges including limited storage capacity at dealer locations, demand for Simtank products remains strong.
He added that the company is committed to manufacture products by complying with the required standards to fullfill its customers desire since most of them fall within the low- to middle-income brackets.
He further credited the government support and investor-friendly policies as key factors in SILAFRICA’s growth.
“Policies are very supportive, and that has been crucial to our success milestone,” he added.
In response to global concerns over plastic waste, the company has introduced a recycling initiative that allows customers to return old tanks in exchange for discounts on new ones.
“We recycle old tanks by crushing them and reusing the materials, which supports the circular economy in the country," Mr Patel said.
In addition to water storage solutions, the company is also promoting rainwater harvesting as part of its commitment to water conservation.
To maintain its market sustainablity, SILAFRICA is investing in advanced machinery to speed up production and reduce costs.
Looking ahead, the company aims to double its operations within the next five years aftee settling in Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and South Africa, with plans to enter another market by the end of 2025.
Mr Suleiman Seif, MSM Hardware Limited representative and simtank dealer said the water tank business continues to grow, driven by increasing demand attributed to the ongoing water shortages in some areas.
“Demand is high. On a good day, we can sell between 50 and 100 tanks, with the 1,000-liter tanks being the most popular,” said Mr Seif.
However, Mr Seif admitted that despite the good business, challenges remain particularly on customer level of understanding on proper use and installation leads to premature damage and reduces the lifespan of the tanks.
