Specialised advisory for industrial companies, processing units, light manufacturing and agro-industry operating in Mozambique, Angola, Malawi, South Africa and international markets.
Industrialisation is back at the centre of African policy agendas. Mozambique, Angola and Malawi have concrete incentives to attract industrial investment — from special economic zones to preferential tax regimes for local processing. Domestic demand for manufactured goods is growing, and import substitution has become a strategic priority in several sectors.
But operational reality remains difficult. African industrial companies face challenges of scale, access to reliable energy, high cost of capital and competition from imported products with artificially low prices. Industrial buyers demand consistent quality, process certification and predictable delivery times — requirements that most local units still cannot meet sustainably.
Our experience shows that the industrial companies that will lead are those able to balance three things: operational efficiency, access to capital and compliance with international standards. This is precisely where we come in.
Six areas where our engagement creates direct value for industrial operators and investors.
Industrial strategy, installed capacity assessment, operational design, factory layout and production process optimisation. Competitiveness analysis and positioning in African and international industrial markets.
Financial structuring of industrial projects — capacity expansion, equipment acquisition, technological modernisation and working capital financing. Negotiation with multilateral banks and development institutions.
Quality programmes aligned with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, HACCP and sector-specific certifications. Preparation for certification audits and access to markets demanding international standards.
Design and optimisation of industrial supply chains — raw material sourcing, supplier management, inbound and outbound logistics, and integration with regional and international value chains.
Industrial energy efficiency strategies, assessment of alternative energy sources, consumption management and preparation for energy transition in industrial units.
Specialised tax advisory in industry — including industrial tax incentive regimes, tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions, customs regimes for equipment imports and negotiation with tax authorities.
Three dimensions that respond to the real challenges of industrial companies.
International competition demands more than cost — it demands quality, delivery and consistency. We help industrial companies optimise operations, redesign processes and raise production standards until they are competitive in demanding markets.
Industry requires intensive capital — to expand capacity, modernise equipment and strengthen working capital. We work with industrial companies to structure that financing with multilateral banks, development institutions and institutional investors.
International industrial buyers demand certifications that prove consistent processes and compliance with international standards. We help industrial companies meet these requirements with method — from diagnosis to certification.
Concrete experience in each segment, with dedicated teams and local presence through member firms.
We support consumer goods factories, building materials producers, textile and apparel industry, and durable goods production in expansion, modernisation and access to regional markets.
We support industrial agricultural processing units — food processing, milling, oils and fats, dairy and beverage production — in professionalisation, certification and financial structuring.
We work with heavy industry, metalworking, chemical production and industrial materials in operational optimisation, energy efficiency and financial structuring.
Structured products that solve specific problems of industrial operators and investors.
Complete operational optimisation programme for industrial units — includes installed capacity diagnosis, bottleneck identification, process redesign and implementation of continuous improvement systems. Optimised for the African industrial context.
Specialised financial structuring service for industrial projects — including multi-currency financial model, guarantee structure, covenant package and roadmap to financial close. Optimised for international financiers.
Complete programme to obtain ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certifications — from initial diagnosis to effective certification. Includes roadmap, document preparation, team training and support during audits.
Integrated industrial energy efficiency service — from consumption diagnosis to energy optimisation roadmap, with financial valuation of options and preparation for financing energy efficiency projects.
Methodology tested in industrial projects across Mozambique, Angola and Malawi. Senior dedicated teams, with local presence through member firms.
We understand the industrial operation, the market, the buyers, the competitors and the financiers before proposing any solution.
We design executable plans, with clear priorities, realistic budget, defined owners and success metrics established before starting.
We stay alongside the teams during implementation — in the factory, in the offices and in the markets, not from the outside.
We measure progress at every stage. We report to the board, to buyers and to financiers whenever it makes sense.
Concrete examples of projects delivered for industrial units and processing companies in the region.
Operational excellence programme that increased productivity by 42% at a Mozambican industrial unit, without additional equipment investment.
Financial structuring of an industrial project in Angola, resulting in USD 35 million of financing from a consortium of multilateral banks and institutional investors.
Two ISO certifications (9001 and 14001) obtained by an industrial producer within 14 months, with subsequent access to contracts with European buyers.
Energy efficiency programme that reduced energy cost by 28% at an industrial unit, with investment payback in less than 3 years.
We meet with your team to understand the operation's context and propose a concrete path — whether operational optimisation, financial structuring, certification or energy efficiency.
