Bidco Takes the Throne Honoured as African Company of the Year!

A Humbling Recognition of the Journey, Vision, and Commitment to Africa’s Growth

In a proud moment that marks a significant milestone in its journey, Bidco Africa has been named African Company of the Year, a prestigious honour awarded by H.E. Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, former President of Tanzania, during an esteemed event in London.

This accolade is not merely a recognition of business excellence, but a celebration of a purpose-driven vision that has consistently guided Bidco’s growth: the unwavering commitment to “Happy, Healthy Living” for every African household.

Crowned in London, Celebrated in Africa

The award ceremony was nothing short of inspirational. When Mr. Vimal Shah, Chairman of Bidco Africa, took the stage to receive the honour from H.E. Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, it was more than an individual moment—it was a proud moment for Kenya, for Africa, and for every person who has been part of the Bidco story.
This recognition speaks to more than success in business; it affirms Bidco’s belief in an Africa that is not just rising, but thriving, powered by innovation, sustained by values, and united by purpose.

A Vision Rooted in People

At the heart of Bidco’s achievements is a simple, yet powerful philosophy: Happy, Healthy Living. More than a motto, it is a way of life that drives every product, every partnership, and every plan. Whether it’s through nutritious cooking oils, trusted hygiene products, or value-driven beverages, Bidco aims to make everyday well-being accessible to all.
This award honours that mission. It recognizes the hard work of a dedicated team, the trust of millions of consumers, and the foresight of a leadership team that believes business must be a force for good.

Fuelled by Purpose, Driven by Innovation

Bidco Africa’s journey is one of transformation of nature’s raw goodness into products that nourish homes and empower communities. From its humble beginnings to becoming a pan-African brand, the company has remained focused on delivering quality, sustainability, and innovation in everything it does.
This recognition as African Company of the Year also reflects the strength of strategic vision: Bidco’s bold plan for 2030 includes securing the No. 1 market share across African markets. But it’s not just about numbers. It’s about redefining standards, improving everyday lives, and setting a new benchmark for what African companies can achieve.

A Shared Victory with Our Communities

No achievement of this magnitude is possible without the people behind it and Bidco knows this deeply. From farmers to factory teams, retail partners to loyal customers, this moment belongs to all of them.

The Journey Ahead: Africa Rising

As Bidco looks ahead, the path is clear but bold: to keep pushing boundaries, keep investing in sustainability and well-being, and keep championing the belief that Africa’s time is now.
This award is a reminder and a promise. A reminder of how far we’ve come, and a promise that with your continued support, we’ll go even further.
