BMZ Import and Export Agencies, a Johannesburg-based company that participated in the Department of Trade and Industry-led (the dti) Outward Selling Mission (OSM) to Zambia, is excited about the successful meetings that will see them export their medical, laboratory, orthopaedic and dental equipment to Zambia. BMZ was one of the 35 companies that participated in the mission that started on 6 October 2015 and ends today.

Owner and Managing Director of BMZ, Ms Bernadette Zeiler, said that the successful meetings she had with potential clients have revealed that there was demand for her products. She is looking forward to supplying the Zambian market with her medical, laboratory, orthopaedic and dental equipment. 

Zeiler also mentioned that her company is on the verge of finalising a R24 million business deal to export her products to Zimbabwe.

“This deal was secured as a direct result of participating in the Zimbabwe Trade Fair where I was sponsored by the dti,” said Zeiler.

Zeiler added that she is excited about venturing into the Zambian market more especially because of its proximity to South Africa, the 20% less fee that is charged on export duties and the fact that the country is in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.

According to Zeiler, BMZ currently has existing clients in Tanzania, Malawi and Uganda and she plans to also expand her business to new countries. She is also looking to increase her product range and employ more staff. She added that the breakthrough that her company is getting will certainly have a positive impact on the manufacturing side of her company.
