Schneider Electric and Amtec Techniquip, a South African manufacturer of quality educational engineering equipment, have in the last four years seen their partnership grow in leaps and bounds. The partnership now sees Amtec Techniquip extending its Schneider Electric didactic benches to include renewable energy (solar PV) benches. A key part of the agreement is to provide locally manufactured and affordable didactic benches incorporating high-quality Schneider Electric equipment to education institutions and organisations.
Funded by the Schneider Electric Foundation, the partnership has, since its inception, accelerated access to education through the provision of state-of-the-art training equipment to tertiary institutions. These include didactic benches that bridge the gap between theory and practice, and form a critical part of vocational training. The Schneider Electric Foundation aims to train one million students in energy by 2025.
The two companies have in the last four years solidified relationships with important educational facilities that include F’SASEC (French Southern African Schneider Electric Education Centre) network partners, providing these institutions with didactic benches. “We feel extremely fortunate to play a role in delivering quality education equipment to some of the country’s foremost training institutions. It is an important milestone and testament to our strong relationships with Schneider Electric,” says Roger Forte, sales director at at Amtec Techniquip. As part of the education equipment provision, Amtec and Schneider Electric also provide training material to the education partners, offering a rounded service that enable lecturers to deliver streamlined and effective training sessions.
