Twenty-seven years ago, a vision was born.
It was never just about building a successful company. It was about building an enterprise that could create opportunities, strengthen industries, and contribute to Africa's economic future.
On 27 June 1999, PREMIDIS began its journey with a simple purpose—to deliver quality products and services while creating lasting value for customers and communities.
What began as a modest enterprise has today evolved into one of Africa's diversified business groups, operating across multiple industries and expanding its footprint across several African nations.
Growing with Africa. Building for Africa. Believing in Africa.
Growing with Africa's Industrial Transformation
As Africa's economies expanded and industries evolved, PREMIDIS evolved alongside them. Manufacturing became one of the cornerstones of PREMIDIS' growth strategy.
- Lubumbashi November 2016
- Kinshasa March 2021
- Bunia September 2023
- Kalemie August 2024
- ARU April 2025
Every facility strengthened local production, generated employment, improved supply chains, and brought quality products closer to customers.
When Africa grows, PREMIDIS grows with it.
Growing Beyond Borders
Trust has always been PREMIDIS' greatest asset. As customer confidence increased, new opportunities emerged beyond national boundaries.
- Luanda, Angola
- Lusaka, Zambia
- Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
- Lagos, Nigeria
The next chapter continues with planned expansion into Harare, Zimbabwe, and Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
Growing Beyond Industries
PREMIDIS has never measured success by the number of businesses it owns. Success has always been measured by the value it creates.
Innovation That Reaches Every Household
From premium whisky brands and wines to bottled water, Hardrock carbonated beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and hygiene products, PREMIDIS continues expanding its portfolio to meet changing market expectations while maintaining high standards of quality.
Behind Every Milestone Are People
Behind every manufacturing facility, every successful product, and every new market stand dedicated employees, trusted distributors, loyal customers, committed suppliers, business partners, and communities who believed in the PREMIDIS vision.
Creating Value Beyond Business
PREMIDIS believes that successful businesses have a responsibility beyond financial performance. Investment should create employment. Growth should strengthen communities. Industry should respect the environment. Progress should improve lives.
Looking Towards Africa's Future
Africa is entering one of the most exciting periods in its economic history. Industrialization is accelerating. Infrastructure is expanding. Regional trade is strengthening. Entrepreneurship is creating new possibilities.
The Journey Continues
Twenty-seven years represent far more than the passage of time. They represent businesses built, industries strengthened, communities supported, employment created, partnerships forged, and trust earned.
Twenty-seven years. One vision. Countless milestones.
Building Businesses. Creating Opportunities. Shaping Africa's Future.
