About ZAL Group

The group began in 1951 with Sayer & Colley.

Every day, ZAL Group’s products and services are part of daily life for millions of people in Chad, from bakers preparing bread at dawn and professionals travelling across N’Djamena, to families preparing nutritious meals, doctors performing life-saving procedures, and young people simply enjoying a refreshing drink.

Since its creation, the group has relied on international standards, sound and clearly defined business principles, and rigorous ethical values that guide all its activities.
