West Africa award-winning manufacturer has secured a string of international contracts worth US$3.2 million ( £2.5 million).
Machynlleth-based Dulas develops and implements renewable energy solutions to support communities in the most rural parts of the world.
Supporting immunisation programmes across some of the most remote communities in Africa
The deals will see Dulas working with local partners for distribution and installation of hundreds of its solar-powered vaccine fridges, supporting immunisation programmes across some of the most remote communities in Africa.
Following the several new deals, including projects in Burkina Faso and Guinea, the company is eyeing further expansion across the region, which it considers a key target market.

Established in 1982, the employee-owned shareholding company has more than 60 permanent staff at its mid Wales base and last year exceeded $7.6m (£7 million )worth of international sales thanks to its export strategy.
Exports account for 60% of Dulas’s trade, with the company exporting its products to more than 80 countries and some of the most remote locations across the globe, in regions including Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Dulas’s recent success in West Africa comes as a result of exposure in target regions via Welsh Government-supported market visits and smaller contract wins, building strong foundations for further trade deals. The company is now looking to build on this success, with additional market visits planned for the region in the next 12 months.
Catherine McLennan, commercial lead at Dulas, said,“Our success in West Africa has skyrocketed in recent months thanks to our increased presence in those target regions. The market visits have been particularly useful for us, with on-the-ground exposure leading directly to new local partnerships.”

The company’s exports have been strengthened in recent years thanks to research and development support it has received from the Welsh Government to enhance its product portfolio and meet stringent PQS accreditation from the World Health Organisation (WHO). Meeting these standards enables Dulas to continue to supply solar vaccine refrigeration systems to communities across the world.
