Senior executives from Mack Truck Headquarters in America, recently completed a working visit to Lanre Shittu Motors, LSM, to evaluate the progress of the company’s strategy to significantly grow its business and to re-enforce their age long business and technical support relationship with the only accredited dealer of Mack trucks in Nigeria.

The Mack’s delegation hosted meetings with partners, business executives and the Guild of Motoring Correspondents in Nigeria.

The visit will culminate with a ceremony later in the year to officially open the new LSM’s multi-bilion naira new facility in Abuja adjudged to be Mack’s best.

“Mack is working to push its Nigeria strategy across the states, helping to transform potential into opportunity for the businesses and communities we serve,” said Mack’s Vice President, After Sales International, Guilherme Blaschke. “Nigeria holds significant promise as a market for Mack and we aim to be leaders by delivering products and services tailored specifically to the unique needs of the countries and regions in which we operate.”
