Our Profile

When Dr Frans Indongo founded his business, he primarily focused on the retail sector, with a vision to establish a network of shops the magnitude of which was initially thought to be impossible.

With hard work and determination, he succeeded in doing just that.

The Group continues to give life to the brand’s mantra, “Shape Today. Own Tomorrow“, through its approach to diversify its portfolio into different sectors including energy, automotive, manufacturing and distribution, property, retail, tourism and hospitality.
