Global Automotive and PBG are mainly active in the distribution of replacement tires and replacement wheels for cars and vans.
Turnkey tropical lowland greenhouse project for vegetables in Nigeria
With more than 200 million people, Nigeria has become one of the biggest economies in Africa and while its population grows rapidly, so is the need for food.
