TotalEnergies Uganda Limited has announced its partnership with the Uganda Manufacturers Association (UMA) as the Platinum Sponsor of the 30th International Trade Fair 2024, under the theme, “celebrating 30 years of industrial excellence.”
The expo will happen starting on 2nd to 10th October 2024. Speaking at UMA’s launch press conference,
TotalEnergies Human Resources and Corporate Affairs Manager Charity Ekudu said, “This year, TotalEnergies is celebrating 100 years of pioneering excellence. Our journey in Uganda started in 1955 and we are therefore proud to be part of the growth of industries in this country for more than the 30 years of excellence we are celebrating at this year’s international trade show.
“We pride ourselves on having walked with most of the manufacturers and industry players whether it is through the supply of high-quality lubricants for the plant machinery and equipment or providing energy solutions to power plant operations and meeting your transportation needs. We continue to be committed to providing sustainable energy solutions to industries in Uganda and look forward to celebrating more years of industry excellence in the future.”
Just like the previous 2 years, she said, they will be running a campaign dubbed “Energize@62” where their customers will stand a chance to win several prizes, including a full tank of fuel for a month if they purchase Total products or pay through their card.
Eddie Senkumba, the UMA Chairman for Communication and Events, said one of the most exciting additions to this year’s trade fair is the Agricultural Pavilion which is dedicated to training farmers, SACCOs and cooperatives in value addition and agro-processing.
“Since the first trade fair in 1992, the Manufacturing output has increased from $16.6 million to $7.4 billion todate. The sector now contributes 23% of Uganda’s tax revenue and directly employs nearly 2 million people,” Senkumba said.
