Our Story

Founded in 2004 in Lubumbashi, Groupe Jambo has evolved in to one of the most respected, diversified conglomerates in DR Congo. From humble origins as a wholesale trading operation, Groupe Jambo currently operates three hypermarkets in Lubumbashi, Kolwezi and Likasi, has completed 50,000 square meters of residential and commercial projects, and is in the process of developing a 7903 hectare farm. 

Groupe Jambo is a firm believer in the potential of DR Congo and its people. Since 2004, Groupe Jambo has actively participated in the development of the Congolese economy through its wide range of investment into the retail, real estate, and agriculture sectors. Groupe Jambo’s ethos is to be a first mover in its respective industry and to build long-term value. 

Message from the CEO

“From hypermarkets to residential complexes to farms, Groupe Jambo’s ethos is to create long-term value for the Congolese people by executing projects that bring development and progress to DR Congo.”

We, at Groupe Jambo, are strong believers in the DR Congo success story. Blessed with an abundance in natural resources, a young population of 80 million people, and improved stability and governance, DR Congo has experienced an economic boom in the last decade. Since 2004, Groupe Jambo has been a bellwether investor and major proponent of the merits of doing business in DR Congo. From hypermarkets to residential complexes to farms, Groupe Jambo’s ethos is to create long-term value for the nation.

Overlooked by international investors, DR Congo is now attracting attention from all corners of the globe as the “next big thing” on the African continent. Groupe Jambo firmly believes that DR Congo has begun its path to becoming and African economic powerhouse. More than a decade and a half after Groupe Jambo was founded, we are still at the tip of the iceberg of what we want to achieve. Going forward, Groupe Jambo plans to expand its geographical  presence across all corners of DR Congo in order to bring its mission of quality at affordable prices to the whole nation. 

 

In the coming two years, Groupe Jambo plans on expanding its retail presence to 4 hypermarkets by 2020, expanding its real estate presence in Lubumbashi, and tackling food insecurity by further developing Ferme Jambo – our maize farm. Groupe Jambo will continue to play a pivotal role in the prosperity of DR Congo.

Groupe Jambo’s success is a testament  to the dedication and perseverance of a five hundred plus strong team. I would personally like to  thank all of our team members for their commitment and hard work and urge them to continue pushing the envelope to take Groupe Jambo to new heights! 

Yours Sincerely,
Rajesh Fatania
CEO
