On February 26, 2025, Tratos Ltd’s CEO, Prof Maurizio Bragagni Esq OBE, participated in the UKEF Supplier Fair.
UK Export Finance (UKEF) is the UK’s export credit agency, a ministerial department of the government. It assists UK exporters by providing guarantees to access working capital and insurance to manage the risk of non-payment. In the 2023-2024 period, UKEF provided £8.8 billion in financial support to UK exporters. UKEF collaborates with private sector finance providers to support businesses of all sizes across various sectors, aiming to enhance UK exports and international trade.
The above-mentioned event offered various UK suppliers insights into export opportunities, the procurement process for the Cabinda International Airport, and trade finance support available from UK Export Finance (UKEF). It also provided a unique opportunity to engage directly with Innovo Projects’ procurement team.
Innovo invited Tratos as one of its valuable partners and a company globally renowned for its cutting-edge cable solutions that power critical infrastructure worldwide.
Focus on resilience and performance positions Tratos as a valuable partner for infrastructure projects like the Cabinda International Airport, which is set to become a pivotal hub in Angola, featuring a 3,500-meter runway to accommodate large aircraft like the Boeing 777 and a 12,000 m² passenger terminal. The project aims to bolster regional development by attracting investments in special economic zones and industrial parks.
Given Tratos’s expertise in manufacturing durable and high-performance cables, the company is well-positioned to support the Cabinda International Airport project. The airport’s modern infrastructure requirements align with Tratos Ltd’s capabilities in providing innovative cable solutions that meet stringent safety and performance standards.
Events like the UKEF Supplier Fair play a crucial role in fostering collaboration between UK suppliers and international projects. They provide platforms for businesses to understand procurement processes, explore export opportunities, and engage directly with project stakeholders.
For companies like Tratos, participating in events like the UKEF Supplier Fair aligns with its strategic objectives of international expansion and contributing to significant infrastructure projects globally. Engaging in these opportunities not only drives business growth but also contributes to the development of critical infrastructure that supports economic advancement worldwide.
