Acting as the bridge between global corporations and East Africa, we are the local agent, broker or distributor in East Africa for a number of major international corporations. We are also the bridge between East African corporations and global markets by being their trusted advisor or distributor. We have an excellent understanding of the different business and society cultures in the regions where we have presence. We have proven capacity to identify business opportunities in different markets and regions for our clients, while we offer high-quality services that enable market penetration and long-term business possibilities.

A selection of the clients we are currently providing agency, brokerage or distributor services for are:

With more than 160,000 employees, this Fortune 500  is active in 70 countries. We have pro-actively approached this commodity trader to jointly penetrate the Kenyan and Tanzanian petroleum markets.

Acting as its agent in Kenya and Tanzania, we have enabled our client to become market leader in Kenya within 6 months from first tender participation. We are proud to say that we have significant contribution to the success of our client, while our market penetration has impacted the lives of millions in Kenya and neighbouring land-locked countries.
