Exclusive interview with the managing director of the Kima group
In which sectors is the group most active?
Kima Afrique stands out for the diversity of its services and expertise. It is a contractor specialising in major works, a leading construction player in Senegal and Africa with hundreds of projects to its name. It is also a major player in energy. In solar energy, we work across Africa, with a strong presence in Senegal, Guinea and Mauritania. We worked with Senelec on the 225 kV Ziguinchor–Tambacounda line. We also supply and maintain power generators.
