Togolese Client Visits Hebei Yongshang Cable Group for Cooperation Talks
A delegation of clients from Togo recently visited Hebei Yongshang Cable Group for business discussions – not just a commercial engagement, but a vivid example of China-Africa industrial cooperation. This journey across thousands of miles was driven by both the company’s solid strength and the urgent development needs of both sides.
As soon as the delegation entered Yongshang’s smart production workshop, the head of the Togolese team was immediately impressed. From the precise control of the wire drawing process to the intelligent coordination of the stranding line, from the efficient production of Power Cables and Solar Photovoltaic Cables to the rigorous testing of Energy Storage Cables, every detail held the delegation’s attention. They frequently bent down to check product parameters, compared performance indicators using testing devices, and specifically inquired about the adaptability of weather‑resistant cables under African climatic conditions – for Togo, with its strong infrastructure needs, cables that can withstand harsh environments are a true necessity.
Representatives of the Togolese delegation elaborated on their cooperation needs based on their country’s development priorities. As an important trade and transit hub in West Africa, Togo is accelerating urbanization and infrastructure upgrades. Grid renovation, 5G communication coverage, and new energy projects are driving strong local demand for high‑quality cables of various types. At the same time, the country’s weak industrial base – where 80% of industrial goods are imported – highlights the urgent need to introduce a reliable supply chain. The delegation noted that they had been following Yongshang Cable through industry channels, and after this on‑site inspection, they are even more confident in the company’s production scale, quality control, and customized service capabilities.
From a thorough inspection of the workshop to open and sincere discussions at the negotiating table, this meeting across thousands of miles has gone far beyond a simple trade exchange. As a member of the delegation said: “The quality and service of Chinese cables are exactly the strength we need to build our homeland.” Hebei Yongshang Cable Group, as a Chinese cable manufacturer, has proven with its strength that “Made in Hebei” is becoming a solid bridge for China-Africa cooperation.
Oceans and mountains are no obstacle when cooperation is in sight. This visit from Togolese clients is not only recognition of Yongshang’s technical capabilities but also confirmation of the great potential in China-Africa industrial cooperation. In the future, when Yongshang’s products help build the power and communication links of Togo, the flowing current will surely carry trust and mutual benefit across the mountains and seas.
