“We are very honoured and humbled by this award, and for us, it is just a pat on the back to keep providing innovative solutions to solving the menace of insect-pests in our homes, schools, hospitals, hotels, and in the field of agriculture,” Mr Afugani said.
This adds to two awards that the company grabbed last year- Manufacturing Company of the year (2016) and the most Innovative Brand of the year (2016).
“Our scope is big, and we know that insect-pests are a bane not only in Ghana, but in much of the African continent. As such, we are embarking on a vigorous expansion scheme to be present in all of Sub-Sahara Africa by the close of the year,” the CEO of Inesfly Africa added.
