According to Charles Mellagui, CEO of Ducab Cables Business, the expansion underlines Ducabโs mission to deliver reliable and world-class energy solutions.
โThis milestone supports Dakarโs energy infrastructure and demonstrates Ducabโs dedication to empowering communities with sustainable power solutions,โ said Mellagui.
