Quality goods, produced where they're used

We manufacture consumer and industrial products locally, reducing reliance on imports and building the supply chains a growing continent needs.

Overview

Producing locally, sourcing locally

Too much of what's sold across our markets is imported, adding cost, delay and currency risk that gets passed on to customers. Our Manufacturing department builds factories close to where goods are consumed — cutting lead times and keeping more of the value chain, and the jobs it creates, on the continent.

We produce for our own group's needs, for local retailers, and for export where a facility earns that scale on quality and cost.

What we do

Six areas of work

From raw material sourcing through to finished goods on the shelf.

01

Consumer goods

Household and personal care products manufactured to serve local retail and distribution networks.

02

Industrial equipment

Machinery and components produced for construction, agriculture and the group's own operations.

03

Packaging & materials

Packaging production that supports our own facilities and outside manufacturers across the region.

04

Supply chain & logistics

Warehousing and distribution networks that move finished goods to market efficiently.

05

Quality assurance

In-house testing and standards compliance for both local regulation and export markets.

06

Local sourcing

Supplier development programmes that bring more raw material sourcing on-shore over time.

Our approach

How we produce

Close to the customer

Facilities are sited near demand centres, cutting the transport cost and delay of imported alternatives.

Sourced locally where possible

We invest in local supplier development rather than defaulting to imported raw materials.

Held to export standard

Every facility is built to meet international quality standards, not just local minimums.
