HACO expands manufacturing of Amara lotion to Ghana

HACO said Ghana was selected as a strategic entry point into the region following market research that identified opportunities linked to the country’s economy, business environment and regional position.

Kenyan consumer goods manufacturer HACO Industries and Ghana-based Ayewa Aberfur have entered into a manufacturing partnership to distribute HACO's Amara lotion in Ghana. The agreement enables HACO to produce the skincare brand locally in Ghana, as part of its expansion plans in West Africa. Ghana was chosen as a strategic entry point due to favorable market conditions, business environment, and its regional position.

HACO will oversee product formulations, quality standards, and technical processes, while Ayewa Aberfur brings its product development and local market knowledge. The companies will share quality controls and conduct regular audits to maintain consistent product standards. HACO CEO Mary-Ann Musangi emphasized the partnership's role in connecting manufacturing capabilities with African markets and strengthening regional supply chains.

HACO is committed to expanding its presence across 30 African countries by 2030, with five manufacturing hubs established throughout the continent.
