Our Journey: From Trade to Global Finance
Our history is a testament to adaptive strategy and visionary growth. What began as a single venture has expanded into an integrated ecosystem of companies, each a leader in its field.
The 1990s: Foundations in Trade
The genesis of our group lies in the dynamic markets of West Africa. Mr. Ali Konate’s early ventures in trade established the commercial acumen, logistical networks, and deep-seated local relationships that remain a core asset to this day.
The 2000s: Building the Future
Recognizing a critical need for regional development, the group diversified into construction and civil engineering. This era was defined by the successful delivery of vital infrastructure projects, solidifying our reputation for quality and reliability.
The 2010s: Strategic Diversification
This decade marked a period of ambitious expansion. We entered the capital-intensive sectors of Mining and Oil & Gas, and simultaneously launched specialized ventures in Aviation, Logistics, and custom vehicle manufacturing, creating a powerful, synergistic portfolio.
The 2020s: Global Integration
To manage this complex, international group and unlock its next phase of growth, Kangala Investments L.L.C-FZ was established in Dubai. This strategic move centralized our financial operations, providing a global platform to structure deals, manage risk, and deploy capital with world-class efficiency.
