A Pan-African Holding Company with a Botswana Heart

SMCG Group builds and connects platforms that move products, people, capital, culture and opportunity.

SMCG Group is a Botswana-rooted, Pan-African holding company operating across food and beverage distribution, wine, retail experiences, advisory, procurement, market access, hospitality training and strategic partnerships.

The Group was built from entrepreneurial and advisory roots dating back to 2008, when ABR Consulting began its journey as a boutique market entry, business expansion, advisory and capital-raising firm. That foundation shaped the DNA of SMCG Group: relationships, execution, market knowledge, influence platforms and the ability to connect opportunity with action.

Following the merger of ABR Consulting into SMCG Group, the business expanded into an operating group with consumer-facing brands, distribution capability, premium food and wine platforms, hospitality training, strategic advisory and special project execution.
