International Exposure

A meeting that took place six years ago changed the course of business for the South Africa-based clean-water company Aqua Salveo, transforming it from a smaller-scale business to a global supplier of goods.

As part of a buyer-seller meeting organized in Johannesburg in November 2008 under the International Trade Centre’s (ITC) Buying from Africa for Africa initiative, the company presented its business case to 29 aid agencies and 71 companies during one-on-one meetings, showcasing products such as its water disinfectant, anti-bacterial gloves and surface sanitizer.

As a result, Aqua Salveo secured orders including one from UNICEF. That in turn led to the company becoming registered as a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Level 1 vendor for orders up to US$ 500,000. Currently we have been upgraded to Level 2.

Aqua Salveo was one of 350 companies that benefitted from the Buying from Africa for Africa initiative, which set out to increase the share of African vendors in aid procurement.

Aqua Salveo has since received international accreditations and expanded into the rest of Africa, South America and Europe.
Aqua Salveo was present at 6th World Water Forum in France and was chosen as one of the new Global Solution Companies of the world for Water and Sanitation.
