Who makes a good partner in Ghana
- Hose and fittings shops in mining towns and industrial areas that already crimp hoses and want deeper stock of large-bore hose, kits and non-standard fittings
- Mining-supply companies that already sell consumables to mines and contractors and meet the procurement list's ownership conditions
- Mechanical and fabrication workshops that rebuild machines for contractors and need reliable hose assemblies for rebuilds
- Industrial distributors in the Tema–Kpone and Takoradi areas serving cement, steel and port customers
What partners get from a manufacturer
The proposed manufacturer relationship includes: assemblies built and pressure-tested to a recorded specification, machine-wise kits documented by position, CNC-made fittings for the odd jobs that lose sales, and technical help decoding OEM references and identifying fittings. Every assembly carries a traceable RHPL tag, so a partner can re-order an identical build for a customer without re-measuring.
How the programme works
- Apply — tell us about your company, ownership, customers and regions.
- Verify — we check company registration details issued in Ghana and the people we are dealing with.
- Talk — a call to understand your customers' fleets and plants.
- Agree in writing — model, territory by region or industry, ordering and payment terms.
- First order — where agreed, a trial kit or mixed hose-and-fittings order for a resale model.
- Review — for resale models, review the buyer’s sales and maintenance records before deciding what to stock.
Rules every partner model follows
- No nominee or "fronting" arrangements; partners are the real owners of their business.
- Partners never collect payment for Raipur Hydraulics.
- The RHPL traceable tag stays on every assembly.
- No applicant or partner may describe its premises as RHPL's office or branch. Any permitted representation is defined by a written appointment; none is appointed in Ghana now.
- Agency or distribution agreements are reviewed under Ghanaian law before signing.
Questions before an enquiry
Useful answers.
Do you already have a partner in Ghana?
No. We are seeking partners. Any appointment will be made by written agreement and will not be announced on this site until it is signed.
Which model should a Ghanaian hose shop choose?
If you sell to mining companies and meet the procurement list's conditions, the Local Supply Partner model fits. If you mainly serve contractors, plants and small-scale miners, you can consider the Dealer / Stockist model, subject to the applicable procurement route.
Can a sales agent sell to mines?
Mining-sector sales go through a qualifying Ghanaian company under the procurement list. A sales agent can introduce plant, port and contractor buyers where the applicable rules permit; petroleum-linked purchases need a separate local-content check.
How are partners paid or rewarded?
Terms depend on the model and are agreed in writing. Partners never collect payment on behalf of Raipur Hydraulics.
