Gondor Machinery Facilitates Localized Production of Educational Supplies in West Africa
With the continued development of the education sector in West Africa, the number of schools and student populations are constantly growing. Chalk, as a basic teaching consumable, enjoys stable market demand. More and more local distributors are seeking efficient, low-cost localized production equipment to replace imported finished chalk. Recently, Gondor Machinery successfully completed an order from Lomé, Togo. After four weeks of in-depth communication and comparison of multiple options, a purchasing agent ultimately ordered our standard chalk making machine.
Project Background: Intermediary Finds Stable Equipment for End-Factory Factory
This customer is an intermediary engaged in the trade of educational supplies, primarily providing various stationery products to local schools and educational supply suppliers. Previously, chalk relied heavily on imports, resulting in long transportation cycles, high costs, and limited profit margins.
To improve supply stability and market competitiveness, the customer plans to assist the end-factory in establishing a local chalk production line, realizing a “local manufacturing + local sales” model. Therefore, they began searching globally for reliable chalk-making equipment suppliers.
After comparing several manufacturers, the client contacted Gondor Machinery through their website, hoping to understand the production capacity, specification compatibility, and long-term operational stability of our chalk making machines.
In-depth Communication: A Four-Week Trust-Building Journey
To provide the most accurate advice, our sales engineers engaged in close communication with the client for four weeks. These four weeks were crucial for building trust and clarifying technical details.
Detailed Requirements and Technical Integration
After initial contact, we did not immediately provide a quote but instead inquired in depth about the end customer’s specific needs:
The client reported that they needed to produce the most standard educational chalk with a high yield rate and minimal air bubbles or breaks.
Video Demonstration and Remote Technical Support
Since the customer is located in Togo and unable to visit the factory in person to inspect the machine, we took the following measures to ensure authenticity.
- On-site video recording: Our technicians filmed the machine’s operation in the production workshop, showcasing the entire process from mold opening and closing, raw material filling to chalk demolding.
- Technical parameter interpretation: We translated the equipment’s technical documents into French, detailing the material and function of each component.
Additionally, our technical team, from a professional perspective, recommended several chalk machine models with different capacities and configurations, and provided the following details:
