Rolls-Royce and Karimjee Group to power Tanzania’s industrial growth

Through its power systems division, Rolls-Royce has forged a strategic partnership with the Karimjee Group, a leading conglomerate in East Africa, to deliver cutting-edge mtu power solutions across Tanzania.

This collaboration is set to bolster the country’s energy infrastructure significantly, drive industrial expansion, and support its sustainable development goals.

Leveraging Karimjee Group’s nearly 200 years of experience and established market presence in Tanzania, Rolls-Royce will introduce the mtu brand’s full range of power generation systems, which are key to Rolls-Royce’s strategic focus.

The mtu portfolio is renowned for its high-performance power solutions, including diesel, gas, and battery systems. These systems are suited for critical energy demands such as standby and continuous power, combined heat and power generation, and microgrids.

“We are excited to partner with Rolls-Royce to bring world-class power solutions to Tanzania,” said Rishad Karimjee, Director of Karimjee Group.

“This partnership underscores our commitment to driving industrial growth and sustainable development in the region by providing our customers with the most advanced and reliable technologies available.”

Together, Rolls-Royce and Karimijee Group deliver flexibility and expertise

Rolls-Royce’s mtu engines are globally recognised for their low emissions, high efficiency, and adaptability to alternative fuels like hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), synthetic diesel, natural gas, biogas, and biodiesel.

This flexibility aligns with Tanzania’s sustainability goals, offering energy-efficient solutions that reduce carbon emissions while contributing to the nation’s economic development.

Karimjee Group will bring its deep local expertise and comprehensive distribution network to the partnership, ensuring that customers benefit from top-tier after-sales service, maintenance, and technical support.

Together, the two companies aim to deliver tailored energy solutions that cater to Tanzania’s growing industrial needs.

Cobus van Schalkwyk, Managing Director of Rolls-Royce Solutions Africa, stressed the partnership’s significance: “Our collaboration with Karimjee is a significant milestone in our efforts to expand our presence in Africa. Together, we will provide Tanzanian industries with the energy solutions they need to thrive in an increasingly competitive global market.”

With this partnership, Rolls-Royce and Karimjee Group are poised to transform Tanzania’s energy landscape, helping industries meet critical power demands while advancing the country’s sustainable development objectives.

This partnership holds great potential for the future of Tanzania’s energy sector.
