About us

We are a pan-African investment and trading group with an expanding distribution network, focused on human and animal healthcare, agricultural inputs and speciality chemicals.

We improve market access and drive trade growth in Africa. By building efficient distribution networks and sustainable supplier-distributor partnerships, we make products available and affordable in the communities we serve.

Our approach

Africa is growing, urbanising and consuming. It is a series of complex and highly differentiated markets.

Optimal access to African markets lies in connecting global suppliers to strong local distributors.

We are building a network of local distributors across the region, providing them with a world-class corporate platform and supporting them to be best in class. We connect our suppliers to our distribution network, offering them simple, scalable and reputable solutions for accessing African consumers.

Integrating the local and the global creates:

  • A strong, sustainable distribution network
  • Business opportunities for suppliers and distributors 
  • A better future for communities all over Africa

Supplier value proposition

Simple, scalable and sustainable

African trade regulations are highly differentiated and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each country needs its own expertise and experience.

At the Bien Group, we make it easy for you:

  • One PARTNER to access multiple African markets with local expertise and experience
  • Centralised procurement: readily available supply; demand planning across regions
  • Secure and efficient order processing
  • A single point of contact
  • Unimpeachable governance, compliance and regulatory practices

Supporting Africa’s sustainability agenda

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles are deeply embedded in Bien Group’s corporate culture.

For example, we fit out energy-efficient warehouses to reduce our artificial cooling requirements. We invest in and empower local business capacity in all our markets.

We uphold the highest ethical standards of business and compliance through adhering to our rigorous policies, procedures and values.
