RA International Group PLC, a service provider to remote location in Africa and the Middle East, announced that it has expanded its operations in Mozambique
The group has agreed to acquire a 150,000 sq m parcel of land in northern Mozambique.
It aims to start building a large camp facility within months in support of the upcoming gas projects in the region.
It has also successfully acquired a 49 per cent shareholding in Royal Food Solutions S.A. (RFS), a family-owned Mozambique-based provider of integrated facility management services.
RFS provides catering services to Mozal, KPMG, and Vodacom. Strategic investment in RFS will enhance the group’s ability to provide fully integrated camp services in Mozambique and the expanded presence of RA International in the region will position the group well to capitalise on future opportunities.
Soraya Narfeldt, CEO of RA International, said, “We are pleased to be increasing our strategic presence in Mozambique, which follows a detailed analysis of the potential opportunities available to RA International in the region. The land purchase and proposed establishment of a camp facility will result in the company having a sizeable footprint in Mozambique which delivers on our geographical diversification plans.
“The acquisition of a stake in Royal Food Solutions will combine both companies’ strengths, capabilities and local knowledge. We look forward to working with the RFS team and within the community,” she added.
