Deep local roots
& poised for growth.
Wutow Trading is a leading FMCG brand distributor and route-to-market partner in Namibia, partnering clients to ensure their brands potential is maximised across our vast desert country. Wutow provides warehousing, distribution, sales and merchandising services servicing wholesale, formal retail, the convenience channel and the informal market.
Established over forty-three years ago in 1979 with offices in Windhoek, Walvis Bay, Tsumeb and Keetmanshoop
Deep local roots, established trusted trading relationships and a track record of delivering exceptional client outcomes.
Wutow clients include food, beverage, personal care, home care, snacks, baby, sanitary care and tobacco brand owners.
Wutow Trading’s growth necessitated the investment in 2021 of additional infrastructure in the form of a world class facility that is enabling client growth in the region.
On the Okahandja Road just north of Windhoek, phase 1 of the project was the creation of a 12,000m2 warehousing space with high bay racking and office space.
In addition, the business secured enough land to increase the size of the facility by an additional 12,000m2 (13 000 pallet space capacity; 7000 pallet spaces available) for future growth.
The new facility enables Wutow to consolidate all operations under one roof to streamline service delivery and add additional product lines and services.
“Lives of great people remind us we can make our lives sublime and, departing, leave behind footprints in the sand of time.” – Henry Longfellow
