Kayimbi Mpanya - the face of GEA Bischoff in South Africa
10/01/2014 GEA Process Engineering Ltd
Kayimbi Mpanya has recently joined GEA Process Engineering in Johannesburg as the company's Sales Manager in order to strengthen the Emission Control Unit. The company is the representative of GEA Bischoff in South Africa and Kayimbi's appointment demonstrates the company's commitment to providing top level emission control systems also throughout the sub-region and worldwide.GEA Bischoff (previously known as Lurgi Bischoff) a company with approaching 100 years of experience in the provision of emission control technology for the glass, iron and steel, cement, non-ferrous and chemical industries. As industry focuses increasingly on the need to protect the environment through reduced emissions GEA Bischoff's technology and expertise has become vitally important across all market sectors.
Kayimbi worked as a contract engineer for other big companies. "I was ready for a new challenge," he explained. "I already knew the GEA name well and felt that environmental control was something important, particularly in South Africa. We are responsible for our country and for what we leave for our children. I really felt that I could make a difference by working in the field of environmental protection with a strong company such as GEA behind me."
GEA Bischoff, based in Germany, is a worldwide technology leader in the emission control sector. Beside the daily work Kayimbi is facing a special problem in South Africa. "The former name 'Lurgi' was so well known in South Africa, it's sometimes difficult for people to recognise the GEA Bischoff name. Everyone knows GEA for heat exchangers and cooling towers, but not so much for emission control. It is important for me to explain that GEA Bischoff is just a new name for an old friend. I think I'm getting there."
GEA Bischoff is part of the emission control Strategic Business Unit within GEA Process Engineering, itself part of the GEA Group.
