Supply for a UNDP-funded project
At La Herramienta Industrial , we see industrial supply as more than just the delivery of equipment: it is a tool for boosting productive capacity, technical expertise and long-term development.
That is why we wish to share some news that is particularly relevant to our international activities: we have recently been awarded a major contract to supply machining and welding equipment and tools to one of Africa’s leading vocational training centres. This project is funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
A project with both technical and training dimensions
The contract involves the supply of a comprehensive and specialised solution designed to meet various practical training needs in industrial settings. The equipment included in the contract comprises:
- CNC electric universal press brake.
- 4-roll bending machine for steel sheets measuring 3100 x 6 mm.
- Bending machines for tubes and profiles with a capacity of up to 100 mm.
- Sheet metal bending machines and shears.
- MIG-MAG, TIG and spot welding equipment.
- Plasma cutting equipment.
- Hand tools.
- Power tools, such as grinders and drills.
- Small machinery, such as bench grinders and drill presses.
- Machining tools for chip removal: drill bits, milling cutters, blades and turning inserts.
- Measuring instruments: callipers, depth gauges, micrometers, digital height gauges, gauge blocks, dial indicators and measuring and control tables.
This is a comprehensive range of equipment that will provide the centre with a broad and solid technical foundation for teaching and practical training in manufacturing processes, forming, welding, machining and dimensional control.

Training for industrial development
This project has value that goes beyond the technical aspect. When a vocational training centre is equipped with suitable, up-to-date equipment that is tailored to the real demands of industry, it creates a learning environment that is far more effective and closely linked to the market.
This means training better-prepared professionals, improving the transfer of technical knowledge, and helping to strengthen the local industrial base.
In this regard, participating in an initiative funded by the UNDP reinforces an idea we fully share: access to technology and specialised training is also a driver of development.

Technical expertise, experience and service
At La Herramienta Industrial, a Silgest Group company, we work every day to provide industrial supply solutions with a comprehensive approach: technical product selection, reliability, logistical responsiveness and professional support for projects of varying scale and complexity.
The award of this contract is a recognition of this way of working and of our ability to meet demanding technical requirements in international contexts.
Our commitment is to continue adding value wherever industry, training and development need a reliable, accessible and well-prepared technical partner.
An industry that trains, an industry that advances
We believe in an industry that not only supplies resources, but also helps to build the future. Because behind every piece of equipment delivered lies an opportunity: to learn, to specialise, to produce better and to open up new possibilities for growth.
This project represents precisely that: the union of technology, training and progress.
