ALPHA S.A. : YOUR PARTNER The history of the company is closely connected with the arrival of TRAVHYDRO within the Group DE COCK in 1987. In that year, the DE COCK purchased TRAVHYDRO, along with all its activities in Belgium as well as those located in Africa. These comprised several subsidiary companies in Central Africa, as well as an extensive local customer base. The most important subsidiary companies remaining active today are located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in Burundi and in Rwanda: the TRAVHYDRO GROUP and the individual companies DE COCK in Kinshasa, SOCO in Lubumbashi, UTEMA-TRAVHYDRO BURUNDI in Bujumbura and SONATUBES in KIGALI. Within TRAVHYDRO, the functioning of the African subsidiary companies of the group and the interests of their customers has been assured, for more than 40 years, through the import-export company UTEMA-TRAVHYDRO IMPORT-EXPORT. In order to streamline this activity with a view to sustaining the development of the African market, the group restructured around the company ALPHA in 1997 with new computer technologies, logistical facilities and human resources. Today the company ALPHA S.A. which had been created in 1984 co-ordinates the exporting activities of the Group DE COCK Its current turnover exceeds ? 2,500,000 a year, a figure which is constantly growing. With a team of ten highly-experienced export specialists at their disposal, the Management of the Group and of ALPHA S.A. in particular foresee sustained development and continued growth in the African markets. We intend that this effort, on our own account and with the involvement of our partners, will bring additional benefits for the populations of the countries in which we operate. In this respect, we are supporting several social initiatives in these countries: rebuilding hospitals and establishing transfusion and welfare centres. Our mission is to be an effective partner in Africa, today and even more so tomorrow. Food products: We have such a wide range for these products that we cannot list them all below.
