02
Operating Corridor
Connected by movement.
The group’s businesses interlock along the trade route from the ports of Djibouti and Berbera, through Jigjiga, to Addis Ababa: trade brings goods in, manufacturing builds the vehicles, energy fuels them, transport moves the freight, and agriculture sends produce out.
01
Imports move in
Ports, free zones, storage, and freight make the inbound leg tangible and credible.
02
Value is built en route
Manufacturing, fueling, movement, and property give the route visible economic weight.
03
Services anchor the brand
Healthcare and hospitality make the group feel present not only in supply chains, but in daily life.
