Nigerian technology company RusselSmith has officially rebranded as Arridex, marking a significant shift in its corporate identity and reflecting its expanded capabilities in industrial technology and innovation.
The company said the transition underscores its evolution from a traditional services provider into a broader industrial technology enterprise focused on delivering advanced solutions across multiple sectors.
As part of the rebranding, Arridex also announced the commissioning of West Africa’s first Omnifactory, a facility designed to support digital manufacturing, industrial innovation, and advanced production technologies.
