Our first range of products a container set, shopping basket and two
large basins were an innovation and took the market by storm.

Aggressive marketing and continuous investment into machinery led to our growth in Malawi. Our policy of maintaining high quality standards and dynamism in operations has led to increased demand of our products in neighbouring countries.
