Powering Africa’s IndustriaL Future.
Manufacture, localise, and scale across Africa—production, quality, distribution & cross-border trade in one platform.
Africa Trade Engine is a joint venture combining TRT Manufacturing’s production expertise (manufacturing, quality assurance, export packaging) with TradeDepot’s technology platform and extensive distributor network across Africa.
We bridge the gap between global brands seeking African market access and the continent’s manufacturing capabilities, offering end-to-end execution from product formulation to retail sell-through.
Our integrated approach reduces landed costs, accelerates time-to-market, and provides visibility across the entire value chain—enabling brands to manufacture locally while accessing pan-African distribution networks.
Two Powerhouses, One Mission.
TRT Manufacturing’s production mastery meets TradeDepot’s distribution intelligence. Together, we provide an integrated path from formulation to shelf.
Our platform provides a complete path from ISO-certified lines to last-mile delivery across 200,000+ retail touchpoints.
Results: up to 30% lower landed costs, 60% faster time-to-market, and end-to-end visibility.
