Industrial marketing in Angola
Vektron Merchants finds manufacturers, distributors and industrial projects in Angola for foreign companies that want to supply, buy or invest there. We confirm the first meetings and plan the visit.
What does industrial marketing in Angola involve?
Angola wants more of what it consumes made at home, and it offers industrial land to investors who build there. Industrial marketing in Angola means finding the manufacturers, distributors and investors that fit the client's plans, checking them and reaching the owners and plant managers.
Who are the main counterparties in Angola's industrial sector?
The Luanda-Bengo Special Economic Zone, created in 2009, covers 7,578.74 hectares. It has an industrial reserve at Viana and an agro-industrial reserve at Uala, and sits about 28 km from the port of Luanda. AIPEX handles private investment projects. The rest of the market is manufacturers, distributors, importers and contractors, most of them based around Luanda.
What a foreign company needs to prepare in Angola
A private investment project goes through AIPEX, which issues the investment certificate (CRIP) once the project is approved. Law 10/21 amended the Private Investment Law, and the application includes a plan to train Angolan staff and replace foreign workers over time. Documents issued abroad need consular authentication and an official Portuguese translation.
What Vektron does, and what the client keeps
We map manufacturers, distributors and partner candidates that fit the client's brief and screen each against public records and sanctions lists. Our staff reach owners and managers in English and Portuguese, confirm meetings, prepare the visit plan and introduce local advisers. Investment approvals, legal advice, negotiation, contracts and payments stay with the client.
