The group

A holding company that embodies a wealth of expertise across diverse sectors.

Group Ogou was founded with the intention of fostering collaboration among African organizations. Initially rooted in African values, it has developed into a dynamic network of companies dedicated to the construction, transformation and sharing of creative expressions.

Le groupe renforce sa cohérence grâce à la complémentarité de ses secteurs d’activité. Cette continuité nous permettra d’interagir avec des chaînes complètes à l’avenir, plutôt que de simples liens isolés, ce qui ouvrira la voie à des opportunités passionnantes.

We are united as a collective, and this unity brings with it a straightforward yet powerful commitment. We embrace partnerships with companies that align with our vision and values, fostering a community of shared purpose and ambition.

  • Keep our word

    An announced delay is a contractual delay. We prefer to refuse a contract rather than deliver late to a client who relies on us.

  • Employ in Africa

    Our companies are proudly African. Technical competence flourishes on site; it cannot simply be transferred from one project to another.

  • Invest for the long term

    We finance our equipment rather than renting it, and we maintain it. A reliable fleet costs less than a site standing idle.

  • Account for results

    Every company in the group reports its results to the board. What is not measured is not managed, and what is not managed drifts.

How we work

The way we run a project

An approach to managing our projects, encompassing everything from the initial discussions to ensuring satisfaction with our guarantees.

  1. Understand before pricing

    We visit, we measure, we ask. A quotation drawn up without seeing the ground is a source of dispute, not a commitment.

  2. Name someone accountable

    Every project has a single named contact, reachable, answerable for the work end to end. You never have to explain yourself twice.

  3. Keep the site legible

    Progress, spend, variances: a formal review on a fixed schedule. Bad news passed on early stays a manageable problem.

  4. Stay after handover

    Completion is not the end of the relationship. We maintain what we build and we come back when we are needed.

What our clients say

Public and private clients who have worked with the companies of the group.

Sylvain Kouassi
They delivered the access road and the platform for our second production line two weeks before the rains. Three years on, the surface has not needed a single repair. That is rare, and it shows in our running costs.
Hélène N’Guessan
We have bought sesame from Ogou Agro for four seasons. Traceability goes back to the cooperative and the analyses arrive before the container does. Our European auditors have never had to reject a lot.
Boubacar Tapsoba
On this corridor the question is not the price per kilometre but the arrival date. In eighteen months, two delays, both flagged before we had to ask. That is what we build our replenishment plans on.
Marie-Ange Aka
We work with all three companies of the group, each on a different trade. What stands out is having one point of contact for a civil works problem, a stuck pallet and a supply contract.
