About us
Our journey revolves around seizing opportunities in Africa's duty-free market. With a collective three decades of experience living and working in Africa, Jordan de Looff, Ari Spanelis, Willemijn Jumelet, and Maarten van de Ven came together to address a gap in travel retail. Collaborating with seasoned board members and founders since 2007, they leverage their expertise from the pharmaceutical and branding sectors to deliver top-quality products throughout Africa. Our local teams are composed of on-ground specialists in retail, training, marketing, sales, logistics, and distribution. They are not only dedicated but also highly adaptable and proficient in their respective fields. With a deep understanding of our target markets and strategic distribution hubs in key locations, such as Cape Town, Dar es Salaam, Windhoek, Malawi, Rotterdam, and Antwerp (all in Europe), we offer:
Efficient Distribution & Adherence: ADF fully aligns with and rigorously upholds all brand marketing strategies and guidelines, backed by accurate reporting to demonstrate our commitment to ensuring your products seamlessly reach their destinations.
Trustworthy Compliance: ADF is committed to being a dependable and compliant partner for your brand. We steadfastly adhere to the laws and regulations governing the markets in which we operate.
