The Beninese chocolate brand Gounou welcomes the investment company M&A Capital to its shareholding. Present on the Beninese agri-food market since 2018, the company plans to conquer the African market.

A new chapter is opening for Gounou, the company specializing in cocoa processing, with the entry of an investor into its capital. The brand opens its capital to the investment company M&A Capital in order to conquer the African market and position itself as a leader in chocolate products in Africa. According to financialafrik, the company's objective is to accelerate its development plan and regional expansion. This partnership represents another important step in the efforts to support the development of this agri-food industry and bring the experience to a higher level. The creation of Gounou intervenes to change and offer a new taste experience and an original, authentic and unique offer. The spread, made with cocoa and cashew kernels, is the work of Gounou Moutawakilou.
