British firm Dints International has landed a £12.5 million contract to supply infrastructure and renewable energy operations in Angola—thanks in part to a key partnership with UK Export

Finance (UKEF).

The deal, which positions Dints as a supplier to Portuguese contractor MCA, was made possible by a UKEF-backed loan guarantee to Apple Bank. This financing arrangement allows MCA to purchase over £12.5 million worth of equipment through Dints, creating new opportunities for UK manufacturers to contribute to the project.

Based in London and established 18 years ago, Dints acts as a project integrator—connecting buyers, suppliers, logistics experts, and funding partners. Under the new contract, the company will deliver vehicles, machinery, and other equipment to support Angola’s growing infrastructure and renewable energy sectors.

The project supports the UK government’s broader Plan for Change, aimed at boosting exports to drive economic growth. UKEF’s involvement helps businesses like Dints scale internationally while creating jobs across the UK.

This isn’t Dints’ first success with UKEF’s backing. Previous projects have helped generate over £21 million in UK exports to countries including Peru, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, and Botswana. The ripple effect supports suppliers from regions across the UK, including Leicestershire, Yorkshire and Humber, Staffordshire, County Armagh, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire.
