Odhav Group · Since 2012
Forging Africa's Future.
From Guinean iron to West African steel — a multinational group of fifteen companies across mining, manufacturing, infrastructure, energy and trade.
The Group
One group. Fifteen companies. One continent rising.
Odhav Group began in 2012 with a single conviction — that Africa's growth should be built by Africa, from Africa's own resources. What started as West Africa's first fully integrated iron recycling operation in Conakry has grown into a multinational family of companies spanning mining, steel, construction, energy, logistics, agriculture and healthcare.
Today the group operates across six countries, employs more than four thousand people, and continues to invest where it matters most: industrial capacity, local skills and long-term partnerships with the governments and communities we serve.
