Regional engineering backbone
Not a broker. An engineering presence in theatre.
East African procurement authorities need more than a catalogue and a freight forwarder. They need a partner who can clear a border, integrate a tactical data link, train the operator and keep the platform serviceable a decade after delivery.
EPiTEK Solutions operates as that regional engineering layer: distribution logistics, system integration, certification-aware documentation and depot-level sustainment, delivered inside national procurement frameworks.
- Factory-trained engineers and test capability positioned in the region.
- Sensor, radio and command integration into existing sovereign infrastructure.
- One accountable contract from requirement definition to depot overhaul.

Standards & compliance
Read the compliance approach
Standards are the baseline. Evidence is the deliverable.
“Aligned” is not “certified”. We state the difference, keep the paperwork, and hand over the evidence file your audit team will ask for.

Training & support
Training that produces a record, not just a certificate.
Every training path is mapped to a competency file: who was trained, on which configuration, by whom, and what evidence proves it. That file is what sustains a fleet after the instructors leave.
Foundation
Standards and shared airspace
ICAO and EUROCONTROL framework, airspace coordination and civil-military deconfliction for defence and civil staff.
Operator
UAS operator certification
Mission planning, emergency and lost-link recovery, payload management and swarm command, assessed per operator.
Maintainer
Avionics and depot maintenance
LRU diagnostics, sensor calibration, structural repair protocols and return-to-service documentation.
Instructor
Instructor and assessor
Train-the-trainer, assessment design and the evidence file that keeps a capability alive after handover.
Support desk · live capability
Defined response windows, not a generic inbox.
Critical mission platform failures enter a named escalation path with a duty engineer and a spares decision inside the first response window.

Why EPiTEK
The difference is what happens after delivery
Procurement closes a contract. Sustainment keeps a capability alive. Our structure is built for the second part.
One accountable regional partner
Procurement, integration, training and sustainment sit under one contract, not four vendors.
Engineering in theatre
Factory-trained engineers and test facilities positioned to respond within the region, not across a continent.
Evidence, not slogans
Acceptance tests, calibration records and training files are documented and available for audit.
Built for sovereign procurement
Work delivered within national procurement rules, end-user controls and dual-use authorisations.
Direct answers
Questions procurement teams ask first
Who does EPiTEK represent in East Africa?
EPiTEK Solutions acts as a regional distributor, systems integrator and lifecycle support provider in East Africa, with a technology relationship centred on the STM portfolio. Partnership and authorisation statements are supported by documentation on request during procurement.
Which countries are covered?
The regional footprint covers Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia. Delivery models combine regional coordination, in-country engineering support and depot-level maintenance.
Can EPiTEK support an existing fleet rather than a new acquisition?
Yes. Sustainment, avionics diagnostics, calibration, spare-parts management and training can be contracted independently of a new platform purchase.
How are export controls handled?
Every engagement is screened against national sovereign acquisition rules, end-user requirements and dual-use export authorisations before a technical data sheet or demonstration is released.
