Production facility, Lagos Free Zone, 2026
Africa's manufacturing capacity is structurally limited.
Building a factory in West Africa takes 24-36 months minimum. Capital requirement: $10-50M before producing the first unit. Then comes the regulatory work: NAFDAC, SON, customs, environmental, labor compliance. Then comes the workforce training. Then comes supply chain establishment.
Most brands wanting to produce in West Africa for West African markets simply can't justify this investment for their initial market entry. The result: imported product from Asia or Europe at higher prices, longer lead times, and pricing that doesn't work for African consumers.
Solbis solves this. We've built the manufacturing infrastructure: facilities, certifications, workforce, supply chain, regulatory relationships. You bring the brand, the formulation, the demand. We produce. Speed-to-market: weeks instead of years. Capital requirement: zero before first production.
