Namibia is currently DPI’s top export country, according to export manager Rajesh Naval. “The Namibian company, Namibia Plastic Converters, which we took over in late 2000, is very busy at the moment as the government is spending a lot of money on water reticulation projects following last year’s drought,” he said, adding that DPI was utilising 10-12 trucks a month to deliver 450mm and 500mm large bore pipes to the various projects. The company is situated in Okahandja, but there is a showroom in the capital city of Windhoek, opened late last year, which has further boosted Namibia in focus sales in the country. Naval says doing business in Namibia is relatively easy, particularly as it is a member of the Southern African Customs Union (Sacu).
