Match Making - The Butterflies of Congo
In a developing nation, matchsticks are a crucial part of everyday life. Dewji International recognised this need early on and establish Socalco as a premier product for the mass market. The brand was formed with the intention of enlightening the lives of people in the remotest regions, while competing against established players by placing top priority on quality and affordability. It is no wonder then that it is a product that is superior to the best of imported ones and has captured the hearts and minds of consumers.
Socalco’s commitment to improving the lives of its consumers is evidenced by the fact that it is the only brand in the whole of Africa making sulphur-free matches that are also highly waterproof. Currently, the brand is on an expansion path by empowering its network of resellers and retailers, while training and supporting young sales entrepreneurs with the aim to reach every part of DR Congo.

and logistical capabilities.

Dewji International now aims to replicate its success in the field of matchsticks in the Central African Republic (CAR). It has established the brand Socalcar with the aim to capture yet another promising market through its experience and knowledge of the audiences in the continent.
