Hp is not leaving the Kenyan market after all. This is according to an official statement from the company, days after rumors surfaced online that the company would be winding up its operations in the Kenyan market.
From the statement, which the company sheds light into the operations of the technology company in Kenya, it is going nowhere soon.
Here is that official statement:
In 2015, Hewlett Packard Company separated into two separate publicly traded companies – HP Inc. the company that manufacturers computers and printers and uses the blue logo, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) an IT Solutions and Software company. The entity in question is associated with HPE, not HP Inc.
HP is committed and passionate about the African market. We have offices in South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, Nigeria, and Tunisia. We are dedicated to making a positive impact and helping our customers and partners in the African region use breakthrough solutions and technologies to help them reinvent their organisations.
HP Inc. creates technology that makes life better for everyone, everywhere. Through our product and service portfolio of personal systems, printers and 3D printing solutions, we engineer experiences that amaze.
From the statement, it is clear that the company had split into two separate companies in 2015, HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).
It is the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) that would be leaving the country while the HP Inc. will continue to operate.
This statement clears the air on misinformation that was already in the public domain for sometime.
