Oak-Van: General Supplier of Medical Equipment and Computers in Ghana is Looking for Partnerships

Kwesi Antwi Appiah, CEO of Oak-Van Ghana Limited, a general supplier of medical equipment, computers and accessories, and office furniture in Ghana, shares his will to establish some new partnerships in order to broaden the company’s scope.

“Our strenght is based on three aspects. Our core business is as a general supplier of medical equipment, computers and accessories, and office furniture. The government agencies, private companies, and NGOs publish their tenders in the paper. If it is in our scope, we go for the tender. We have established contact with over 20 major clients who often call us directly. Even if there are 3 or 4 companies, we can bring our quotes in so they can compare. Because of our past service with them, they often call us to supply to them under sole sourcing. So far, most of our clients are under sole sourcing”, says Kwesi Antwi Appiah.

“Our medical supplies usually come from Turkey. We have a company there that we are partners with in terms of medical supplies. We want to broaden our scope now and get more companies who can partner with us when it comes to medical equipment. Most medical equipment in Ghana is imported. We want to find partners in the US, France, etc. When we get a tender process, we send it to our partners to go through and look at the specifications. They can then create the medical equipment to that specification. We also want to broaden our scope in terms of computers. We do not produce computers in Ghana; rather, we still have to import them. Right now, we do not have a partner in computers outside of Ghana. We have some partners in Ghana. If we do not have something in stock, we just contact them and get it from them. But we do not have a bigger client outside which we wish to have”, he adds.
