Lobels is a well established Zimbabwean company, manufacturing a range of quality food products. With a modern factory in Bulawayo and a large distribution depot in the capital, Harare, its products have been on wholesalers and supermarket shelves in Zimbabwe for generations. Lobels was recently awarded the Zim trade Exporters Award for "Outstanding Performance in the Processed Foods Sector". Mr O. Mpofu from the Ministry of Industry and International Trade and Commerce presented the award to Mr A. Dinhidza from Lobels. Over 50 years ago Lobels Bakery was established By Mr. W. Lobel and Mr. B.E. Lobel both of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Before then, early pioneer bakeries had produced bread by hand. Lobels saw the need for automation and after substantial investments introduced modern production-line baking equipment. The resulting competitive prices made bread a staple item for the city's growing population. Biscuit production began shortly thereafter in 1954. The range of biscuits grew rapidly as production became more automated. From the original plain range of biscuits Lobels developed a Cream range, then a Chocolate-coated range and a Savoury selection was added as the company continued to anticipate consumers' wishes. Today, biscuits and sweets are the company's core business in Zimbabwe, and are exported throughout the region and increasingly, abroad. Packaging quality has also kept pace with consumer expectations, from the early biscuit-tin to today's gravure-printed lines. 2000 saw the introduction of a wide range of confectionery, sweet and chocolate lines, which have grown exponentially since 2000 and now contribute significantly to our profitability. The operation, employing 600 staff, is still a family business. Today Mr. John Lobel heads the company and is committed to carrying out the traditions associated with the Lobels "Quality Promise".

Willmon Company Limited was established in 1995 by two brothers, William and Simon Abraham. It all started with a brain storming session as to what the next move in the business market should be in The Gambia. This led the brothers into the supermarket business when they acquired the supermarket chain "St. Mary's Food and Wine", which today has turned out to be the largest supermarket chain in The Gambia with 5 outlets around the Gambian coast.  Today, the company serves customers in most areas of the Gambia especially in the tourism, expatriate and local market. This however has not stopped the brothers from expanding. Over the years, Willmon has grown into a company that not only specialises in the supermaket business sector but into other emerging markets like the internet, banking and insurance.
