There could be no better solution than this, both in design and function” says Inyang. “With the professional help of the Tecom team, we didn’t have to build the podiums by ourselves.  We just shared the client’s demands for simplicity and durability. Tecom manufactured, quality-assured and shipped the units completely assembled and ready to use.  We took it out of the box, plugged it and we were good to go!”
