“The creation of the Togo Clothing Company is the achievement of a significant milestone for the recently-launched Adetikopé Industrial Platform.

This achievement demonstrates what bold and agile investors can do in Togo,” said Sani Yaya, Togolese finance minister.

“Togo Clothing Company is a milestone achievement both for Togo and ITCRmg. This new manufacturing facility is going to generate thousands of jobs locally.
