Dear Mered, can you please state your request more clearly? Is this an operational plant that needs particular spare parts, or is yours a general request for a new plant you are designing? The most important companies generally have contacts or dealers who are also present in Ethiopia. Let me know if and how I can help you. Have a great day! Duilio
