History and developments
OLAF Trading was founded in 1995. More and more trading developed, in addition to traditional agricultural products such as coffee, cocoa and cotton. There was demand for all kinds of products and services, like (road) construction, electronic materials, water distribution tools, and training materials, sanitary ware, but also transport and ICT services.
Trade has grown with more than 15 % over the last five years per year: figures that contrast sharply with the economic developments in Western Europe.
Growth is formed by both the prosperity and development by demographic factors.
Developments
As we find it very important to listen permantly to the market and our clients, we are very proud to be one of the most appreciated enterprises in our segment.
Our professional team is very well prepared for the wide variety of the African market demands, as we have our expertises for the export of raw materials to elsewhere.
