Our heritage as an economic powerhouse runs deep. The MeTL Group began as a family business started by my father Gulamabbas Dewji, a small trading company which was then turned into one of the largest industrial conglomerates in East Africa, with interests ranging trading, agriculture, manufacturing, energy & petroleum, financial services, mobile telephonyinfrastructure and real estate, transport, logistics & distribution. After studying business at Georgetown University, I joined my father’s business in 1999, since then MeTL Group has grown significantly, diversifying to sectors never before thought possible. This company profile will outline the depth of MeTL Group’s presence in Tanzania, the brand that we have and how far we have come over the years.

MeTL Group is Tanzania’s largest homegrown company with Revenues of more than $1.5 billion, employing more than 24,000 people and with a presence in 12 countries in Africa, including Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Dubai, DR Congo and of course Tanzania. We have the best available talent and are consistently investing in our people and our infrastructure. The $1.5 billion revenue from our group of companies constitutes a little over 3.5% of the GDP of Tanzania and employs 5% of the formal employment sector. By 2018 we expect to hit revenues of $5 billion.

MeTL Group supports several causes through the Mo Dewji foundation. Over the last five years, we have spent more than $3 million developing schools, providing education, improving health care, and providing water supply inventions to create income generation.
