Production machinery for Nigerian factories, sourced from wherever the equipment is actually made, and specified against your power supply and your output before anything is ordered.
This is the work we do most. The machines below are the ones we are asked for most often, and each page sets out the parameters that decide the right unit rather than a list of features you cannot compare.
What governs a machinery import into Nigeria
None of this is optional and all of it is easier when it starts before the machine is built rather than after it has sailed.
- Form M. A Central Bank foreign exchange instrument, required on imports above about USD 1,000 and opened through a Nigerian bank before shipment. Validity runs six months for general goods and twelve for machinery, which is the concession that makes a long build possible.
- PAAR. The Pre-Arrival Assessment Report is filed before the goods arrive and sets the classification and assessed value. It is submitted entirely through the NICIS II platform, with no paper alternative.
- SONCAP. The Standards Organisation of Nigeria conformity programme covers regulated products, electrical and electronic equipment among them. Where it applies, certification happens at origin, not on arrival.
- NAFDAC, where the product is consumed. Water, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic production is licensed at the plant rather than the machine. Approval covers your premises, your process and your people, so the building work belongs on the same timeline as the equipment order.
- Duty is assessed on Customs valuation, not your invoice. A low invoice does not produce a low duty, and this is the surprise that damages more machinery budgets than any other.
We confirm the current applicable rates and requirements against your specific equipment before quoting, rather than repeating a percentage from a website. Tariff lines and levies move, and a figure quoted months ahead without checking is a figure somebody intends to revisit.
What we source in this category
Specification, minimum order and what actually decides the choice on each. We do not publish prices, because the landed figure depends on the specification, the Customs valuation and the exchange rate on the day you pay.
Sachet and Bottled Water Production Lines
Treatment train and filling machine. Why the borehole analysis decides the equipment list, and what NAFDAC inspects before you can sell a single bag.

Concrete Block Moulding Machines
Manual, egg-laying and hydraulic stationary presses. What NIS 87 actually requires of your block, and why compaction is a cement bill rather than a machine feature.
View details
Film Blowing and Nylon Extrusion Lines
Screw diameter, lay-flat width and gauge control. Specify against the micron rule that is coming rather than the one in force, because you cannot revisit a screw later.
View details
Tablet Presses and Pharmaceutical Compression
Single and double rotary presses. Tooling standard, contact materials and the qualification documents NAFDAC expects, which are worth more than the stations figure.
View details
Industrial Welding and Cutting Machines
Buy a welder on its amperage figure and you'll learn about duty cycle the hard way. Usually around week three, when the shop is busy and the machine keeps cutting out mid-bead.
View details
Rice Milling Machines
Rice mill capacity is quoted in paddy going in, not rice coming out. On Nigerian paddy the gap between those two numbers is wider than most first-time buyers plan for.
View details
Garri and Cassava Processing Lines
Most garri lines are sold as a complete set. The part that decides whether yours works is the grater and the press, and those are the two units suppliers cut cost on quietly.
View details
Palm Oil Processing Machines
Palm oil equipment gets quoted as a complete mill or as separate units, and the two quotes are almost never comparable. Knowing which stages you're actually being sold is most of the work.
View details
Groundnut Oil Extraction Machines
Cold-pressed and hot-pressed groundnut oil are two different products, not two settings on the same machine. Buyers can taste the difference, and it shows up in shelf life too.
View details
Maize and Grain Milling Machines
A 20-ton-a-day maize mill means 20 tons of maize going in over 24 hours of running. Not 20 tons of flour, and not in an 8-hour shift.
View details
Poultry Feed Pellet Mills
Feed pellet mills are rated on soft formulations at ideal moisture. Change the formula and the same machine gives you a different number, sometimes a much smaller one.
View details
Egg Incubators and Hatchery Equipment
Incubator capacity is counted in eggs it holds, not chicks it produces. Hatch rate does the rest, and hatch rate is mostly about your eggs and your power, not the cabinet.
View details
Interlocking Paving Stone Machines
Block machine output is quoted in blocks per hour, and that number assumes the mixer never runs dry and someone is always clearing the pallets. Neither is true on most sites.
View details
Ice Block Making Machines
That 5-ton-a-day figure assumes the compressor never stops. Yours will stop. Between outages and diesel cost, most ice businesses here run maybe 14 to 18 hours, and that changes which machine you should buy.
View details
Plastic (PET) Bottle Recycling and Pelletizing Machines
Recycling lines are quoted on clean, sorted, dry flake. What arrives at most Nigerian yards is none of those three, and washing is where the real money goes.
View details
Plastic Injection Moulding Machines
Injection machines are sold by clamping tonnage, and tonnage is set by the part you're making, not by the machine you'd like to own. Get the mould specified first.
View details
Reverse Osmosis and Borehole Water Treatment Systems
RO systems are rated on feed water going in. Between a third and half of it leaves as reject, so the litres-per-hour figure on the label is not what fills your bottles.
View details
Industrial Water Pumps, Valves and Hoses
Pump curves are honest documents. The problem is that almost nobody reads them, and a pump picked on its headline flow figure usually runs somewhere it was never meant to.
View details
Industrial Bearings and Mechanical Spares
Fake SKF, NSK and FAG bearings are everywhere in this trade, and the packaging is often better than the real thing. The loss lands on you, not on whoever printed the box.
View details
Diesel Industrial Generators and Spares
Generator ratings come in prime and standby, and the difference is not marketing. Buy a standby-rated set for continuous running and you're buying a machine for a job it wasn't built to do.
View details
Industrial PPE and Safety Gear
A CE mark costs nothing to print. Getting the helmet actually tested to EN 397 costs money, which is why plenty of helmets carry the mark without ever having seen a lab.
View details
Industrial Sewing Machines
The stitches-per-minute figure on an industrial sewing machine is a top speed nobody sews at all day. What matters more is whether it handles your fabric without skipping.
View details
Bakery Production Equipment
Bakery equipment gets sold by bowl litres and deck count, but the number that decides your daily output is how long each stage takes and where the queue forms.
View details
Industrial Hoists and Chain Blocks
A chain block rated at 5 tons is rated for a straight vertical lift, in good condition, used properly. Angle the pull or shock-load it and that number stops meaning what you think it means.

Not listed? Ask anyway.
These four are the machines we are asked for most, not the limit of what we source. Oil presses, mixers, packaging and labelling equipment, fabrication machinery, processing lines and single spare parts all go through the same process.
Tell us what you are trying to produce, how much of it, and what power you have on site. We will tell you what machine that is, what it will cost delivered in Naira with every line itemised, and whether the numbers support it. Where the honest answer is that you should buy locally or buy smaller, we will say so.
