OUR HISTORY

SINCE 1995

Shenimed is one of the leading distributors of cigarettes in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The exclusive partnership with Japan Tobacco International (JTI) has enabled Shenimed to distribute their brands. The company quickly grew, becoming a major player in the distribution of cigarettes in the DRC.

Today, Shenimed manages a vast distribution network covering the entire country with 20 agencies, 27 secondary warehouses, and over 40 sales points in 17 provinces. The company serves remote regions thanks to a well-organized logistics network, including various means of transport such as trucks, airplanes, motorcycles, and boats.

WE ADAPT TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND MARKET CHALLENGES
