To provide clients with reasonable expectations for delivery, Novanex structures lead times based on the item category and required sourcing process, which is often dictated by the need for international sourcing in the Zimbabwean market.

Local Stock / Catalogue Items

Items: PPE, MRO Consumables, Stationery

These items benefit from Novanex's local inventory management. Lead times are typically short, reflecting our commitment to rapid, accurate, and on-time delivery.
