Launching Zambia’s first fire extinguisher gas refilling plant.

Prospero buoyed Status Hi-Tech through a grant of £51,810.81 to establish Zambia’s first local fire extinguisher gas refilling plant. This ground breaking project positions Status Hi-Tech as the only company in Zambia capable of offering the service, eliminating the need for companies to transport firefighting equipment to South Africa for refilling,

The fire extinguisher gas refilling plant provides an affordable and accessible local solution, reduces operational costs for industries and enhance safety.

Status Hi-Tech is a Zambian-owned company specialized in the supply, installation, and management of personal protective equipment (PPE) and firefighting equipment.

Due to the support provided by Prospero, the company has witnessed an increase in the number of employees from 57 to 83 employees, 20 more employees are expected to be hired once the plant is fully operational.
