Siemens and Redington collaborate to accelerate digital transformation across Africa
Siemens Digital Industries Software announced its agreement with Redington, a leading technology aggregator and innovation catalyst, in Africa and the Middle East. This agreement brings the full power of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industrial software to six key African markets: Egypt, Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Morocco and Tanzania, with plans to expand into further regions in the future.
Through this collaboration, engineers and designers across the continent will gain access to best-in-class solutions, including Teamcenter® software for product lifecycle management (PLM), Designcenter™ software for advanced product design and engineering, and Simcenter™ software for advanced simulation and testing. These tools are underpinned by Siemens’ industry-leading Digital Twin technology – which creates a highly accurate virtual model of physical assets – and cutting-edge Industrial AI capabilities that allow companies to predict failures, optimize production and innovate at unprecedented speeds.
The agreement comes at a pivotal time for Africa, as industries accelerate their adoption of digital technologies to drive greater efficiency, resilience and growth. By bringing together Siemens’ world-class software with Redington’s deep local market expertise and trusted partner network, the collaboration will help organizations across the continent unlock next in industrial innovation and digital transformation.
Sayantan Dev, chief executive officer, Software Solutions Group, Redington Limited, said, “Industrial AI is opening a new chapter in how businesses design, manufacture and operate. Our partnership with Siemens brings advanced software and Digital Twin capabilities closer to African enterprises and translates them into real-world outcomes. Through technology ecosystem orchestration, we are helping organizations apply these technologies at scale to improve productivity, optimize operations and enable new ways of working. This is how we see industries across the continent unlock next.”
“Our work with Redington allows us to better support our customers and respond to the surging demand for digitalization across Africa,” said Cobus Oosthuizen, vice president and managing director, Africa & Middle East, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Redington’s proven track record, including its experience distributing Altair simulation tools – which Siemens successfully integrated into our portfolio last year – makes them the ideal partner to help us deliver the future of manufacturing and industrial design to the region.”
The partnership will give customers across Africa greater access to Siemens’ advanced industrial solutions, backed by the local expertise and support needed to maximize their value.
