Taking Profound Youthful Steps, Making History.
Once a brand with only two products, now has matured into six brands, more than 25 products, and 12 product categories. Our history may not be as established as others, but we have our fair share of stories to tell.
We started in 1995 as a mere subdivision. Ten years on, a separate venture was born in 2005, we named her Vega Foods. What followed next was the expansion of our core team, strengthening of our strategic foundation, and the development of a brand that seamlessly blends the best of modernity and tradition.
We realised that Africa was the final frontier of massive yet untapped potential. With Ghana being identified as the gateway, we planned our first foray into the continent. Our operational infrastructure was built in tandem with the growing needs of the country. The team that help us realise our dream in Ghana has over the years, replicated this success in neighbouring markets.
Today, our products are of trusted quality, yet priced competitively. Our belief that the enjoyment of eating is not a reserve of the affluent, but should be open to all.
