TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 18, 2020 / Tribert Rujugiro Ayabatwa is proud to announce that his company Barco Trading Company is approaching its 20th year of productive corporate leadership.
Tribert Ayabatwa is a Rwandan serial entrepreneur, business leader, and philanthropist. He is the founder of Barco Trading Company and the Pan African Tobacco Group.
Tribert Rujugiro Ayabatwa established Barco Trading Company (BTC) in Lubango, Angola, in 2002. That was the year Angola achieved peace and began to build itself into the fourth-largest economy in Sub-Saharan Africa with a GDP of US$94 billion.
With cumulative investments of $60 million USD and a projected of an additional US$10 million, BTC is the only manufacturer of tobacco products in Angola. BTC employs 416 full-time and seasonal employees in the manufacturing and supply chain.
Tribert Rujugiro Ayabatwa envisions a bigger role for BTC by becoming a major exporter of made-in-Angola products. Ayabatwa is also keen to maintain the excellent relationship with the authorities and the people of Angola. This relationship includes BTC's corporate social responsibility recently demonstrated by the joint effort with the authorities in fighting COVID-19. BTC contributed a variety of foodstuff and sanitary materials.
For Ayabatwa, business is about more than just making a profit. Contributing to the greater good is fundamental.
"I am excited to see what the next 20 years hold for Barco Trading Company," says Tribert Rujugiro Ayabatwa.
