Ethiopia is Africa's second most populous country, with a large farming economy and state-built industrial parks for textiles and agro-processing. It is landlocked and imports mainly through Djibouti by rail and road.

Gaskets and gland packing are replaced whenever a flange is opened or a pump is overhauled, so plants buy them by the hundred before every shutdown.
