Ivory Coast

Azelis began operations in Ivory Coast in 2016, initially focusing on the food and health market segment. Ivory Coast serves as a pivotal hub within ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) and marks our second investment in Africa. Here, we have rapidly built an attractive portfolio in collaboration with leading global blue-chip principals, supported by the expertise of our experienced team in France. We aim to further expand our business into the care and agricultural industries.

Azelis acquired Orkila in 2019. This acquisition significantly expanded Azelis' Ivory Coast footprint across many market segments. Orkila is the top speciality chemicals and food ingredients distributor throughout Africa and the Middle East. Headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon, the Orkila group runs offices in 13 countries and is active in more than 30 countries in the region. They represent many renowned world-class speciality chemicals and food ingredients manufacturers with a strong strategic fit with Azelis’ principal base.

At Azelis Ivory Coast, we count on a team with in-depth knowledge and strong technical expertise of the local market. We also have a warehouse in the heart of Abidjan and an application laboratory to support customers’ specific needs.
