He then moved on to the University of Cape Coast where he was responsible for laboratory management and analysis in the department of chemistry to strengthen his technical and scientific knowledge. Afterwards his work experience portfolio included companies like Nestle Ghana, West Africa Mills and Thomas Oil Mills in Nigeria where he gained significant experience in the palm oil industry. His meticulous engagement, experience and scientific knowledge allows us to comply with the high requirements and standards for quality and quality control on the market.
All of our products, prior to being released, undergo detailed tests and a series of analysis.
