Zimbabwe

Providing Innovative Route to Market Solutions

Brands Africa Zimbabwe was established in 2011 and was a consolidation of several smaller distribution companies, namely I. Fintz (Personal and Homecare), Amakai (Beverage and Fine Food) & Brands Direct (Cosmetics and Confectionary). It is now one of the leading FMCG sales and distribution companies in Zimbabwe, with a well-deserved reputation for attention to detail, innovation and world-class service delivery.

Brands Africa represents both international and local principals exclusively and provides national distribution to all formal retail and wholesale chains as well as the informal sector.

Our sales and merchandising team of 105 people services stores throughout Zimbabwe and a fleet of over 40 vehicles ensure efficient distribution coverage nationally.  Brands Africa’s warehouses are located in Harare and Bulawayo and offer 10,200m2 of ambient and temperature-controlled storage space.
