WHAT WE DO

We build international brands into African market leaders.

We are selective about the brands we represent. Each brand in the SFI portfolio must have a compelling identity, strong consumer proposition and the potential to become a leader within its category. Once we partner with a brand, we treat it as our own. Dedicated management, sales and marketing teams develop strategies around the individual personality and opportunity of each brand rather than applying a one-size-fits-all distribution model.
