A little about her company Omatek Computers..
Omatek Computers originally started over 22 years ago as a training outfit and progressed into executive training for bank executives and their counterparts from the Oil and Gas Sector.
Omatek is especially known to have had a stint training staff of Shell and NNPC.
In the course of time, Omatek metamorphosed from a computer selling firm
to a computer manufacturer.
The need to continue to meet the minimum order quantity requirement of some of the best manufacturers to sustain production quality, led to the embrace of the SMEIS scheme in partnership with two leading Banks to:
� manufacture Casings, keyboards
and Speakers from Completely
Knocked Down (CKD) Components;
� produce the OMATEK brand of
Computers, Notebooks and Servers
� export computers, casings and
speakers within Africa and
� Generate employment
opportunities in the IT Industry for
youths.
v Omatek recently exited the SME
scheme through a Private Placement
which has culminated in its listing on
the floor of the Nigerian Stock
Exchange-the first ICT Company in
Nigeria to be so listed.
v The shares of the company were
over subscribed by a whooping N 6
billion Naira. This is indicative of the
kind of respect and acceptance that
Omatek has earned over the past two
decades.
Today, Omatek has grown into a Group of
Companies with the establishment of
subsidiaries to strengthen its operations.
Omatek Ventures Plc has therefore become
the holding company for the subsidiaries
namely:
Omatek Computers Ltd
Omatek Computers (Ghana)Ltd
Omatek Ventures (Ghana) Ltd
Omatek Engineering Services Ltd
Omatek Ventures Distribution Ltd
