Roni Gaby Mattouk of ARG 1 Africa Discusses Innovation and Technology in the Elevator Business

Roni Gaby Mattouk, CEO ARG 1 Africa, discusses innovation and technology and shares his vision for the future of the leading Ghana-based elevator engineering company.

“We are hoping we can grow innovation and to get involved with some universities to grow new talent. We are hoping to add some technology into the products that we offer. We are hoping we can keep this growth steady to possibly hit two to three thousand units. We are hoping to reach a point where we can collate statistics from our clients and these statistics could be used to create new products to give the specific clientele of ours. That is the hope, that is the vision. The elevator business is going to continue as it is, and we are growing gradually with it. More work will come, but we are not going to diversify into other things. We want to concentrate on our core business. Maybe we will open a training college because our artisans are very limited, our skilled technicians are limited and because the market is evolving and we are still at the early stages, there are more challenges coming up if the market wants to grow. Drive around and you will see nine out of ten big jobs under construction are by foreigners. Why? Before we opened, the number 1 company in elevators was CFAO from France. Why? Where were the Ghanaians? Our focus is how we can train more so we can do more. That is what our vision is”, says Roni Gaby Mattouk.
