Why Africa

Why Africa

Africa is an untapped virgin territory for the textile industry with sufficient labor resources and great room for expansion and sustainable development.
With over seven years of dedicated presence in Africa, we believe this continent represents the future of responsible global manufacturing.
At C&D, “Made in Africa” reflects our commitment to quality, inclusivity, and long-term impact. We’re here to expand global supply chain possibilities—offering high-quality, reliable, and responsible manufacturing solutions rooted in Africa’s growing potential.

A Stable, Sustainable Base for the Future of Global Sourcing

1

Political Stability & Business Environment:

Rwanda offers a politically stable, low-risk environment with the lowest debt ratio in East Africa, a stable currency, and strong credit standing. It ranks 2nd in Africa for ease of doing business, 1st for government transparency, and is among the fastest-growing economies on the continent. These conditions make Africa a strategic choice for diversifying supply chains, reducing disruption, and building long-term resilience.

2

Cost Advantage with Institutional Support:

With strategic backing from the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), we benefit from policies that support vertical supply chain development. Combined with our logistics collaboration with Rwanda Air, we’re able to reduce operational costs and offer our customers competitive, value-driven pricing.

3

Full Control Over Inland Logistics:

C&D operates our own logistics fleet of 8 trucks, allowing us full control over inland transportation. This ensures faster turnaround, greater flexibility, and safer delivery from our factory to key shipping points—enhancing our overall supply chain reliability.

4

Diverse and Skilled Workforce:

We’ve built a multicultural team across China, Rwanda, Bangladesh, and Kenya, combining global expertise with local talent. Through training and on-the-ground collaboration, we’re developing a capable, future-ready workforce that strengthens production performance at every level.

5

Long-Term Commitment to Sustainability:

Our factory is BSCI-A rated and GRS certified, ensuring that every "Made in Rwanda" product meets the top-quality standards of ethical production. Beyond compliance, we run our own CSR initiatives focused on uplifting local communities beyond the factory walls—empowering people through skills training, job creation, and long-term development.
