Chinese construction materials giant Lesso plans to open a subsidiary in Togo.
• Talks with Togo’s Chamber of Commerce focused on partnerships with local firms.
• The move aims to boost the construction sector, create jobs, and expand logistics.
The Chinese group Lesso, a global leader in construction materials, is preparing to establish a subsidiary in Togo. The plan was discussed last week during a meeting between a company delegation and the Togo Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI-Togo).
As part of this project, Lesso intends to partner with local construction and building materials distributors. The goal is to identify market needs in local manufacturing, tailored solutions, and logistics.
According to Winnie, the group’s Africa regional director and head of the delegation, the choice of Togo is tied to its strategic logistics position and ongoing economic reforms.
In Togo, Lesso could expand into plastic piping, construction materials, furniture, renewable energy, environmental protection, and logistics services.
Active across five continents with more than 30 production units, Lesso holds over 3,000 patents and has contributed to revising more than 120 industrial standards.
Its entry into Togo is expected to broaden the range of construction products available, stimulate the local building sector, create jobs for young people, and strengthen the country’s economic growth.
