About Us
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.
Made in Africa, for Africa and the world.
