Dow in Africa

We first set foot in Africa in 1959, when establishing our operations in Johannesburg. Today, Dow serves customers across the continent through our operations hubs in Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa.

Dow plays a pivotal role in shaping Africa’s sustainable future – enabling renewable energy to support its ongoing transformation, or accelerating circularity for the plastics industry through breakthrough partnerships. Our innovation is tailored to address Africa’s most pressing challenges, while meeting local market trends.

Our talented, local team on the ground is committed to deliver industry leadership and technical expertise, with a relentless focus on technologies that will help Africa to achieve its sustainable development ambitions. Every day, our breakthrough innovation is raising the bar and setting new standards in building, construction and infrastructure, food packaging and much more.

Sustainability is…

a path we embarked on some time ago and one we take seriously. We constantly seek and support partnerships that accelerate sustainable solutions throughout Africa.
