During ist initial years the company participated in small and medium size enterprises, engaged in planting and distributing roasted peanuts and cashew nuts, footwear production, furniture distribution and wood trim, it was also active in finance sector and in some small construction projects.
These experiences pave the way to learn about production and has led to expansion and growth to what the company has become today. Thanks to the progressive vision of the founders and the high professional way of working of our teams, we now exist out of 4 divisions: agricultural exports, finance, real estate and tourism.
