Who We Are
General trading, done properly.
Afri Globes is a general trading company headquartered in the United Arab Emirates. We source, consolidate and supply quality products to businesses across Africa and the wider region.
We operate at the meeting point of two worlds: the global manufacturing centres that produce the goods our clients need, and the fast-growing African markets that depend on dependable access to them. Our role is to make that connection simple — finding the right product, at the right specification and price, and getting it where it needs to go.
Our supply covers five core categories: lubricants, marine spare parts, electronics and IT hardware, phones and accessories, and cosmetics and personal care. Whether a client needs a single consignment or an ongoing supply arrangement, we handle the sourcing so they can get on with running their business.

Our Advantage
Positioned at the world's trading crossroads
The UAE is one of the most connected trading hubs on earth. Its deep-water ports, free zones and air links place Asian and European manufacturing within days of the Middle East and Africa, rather than weeks. Basing ourselves here is a deliberate choice — it gives our clients a wider supplier network, consolidated shipments, and shorter, more predictable lead times.
Global reach, one contact
Access suppliers across Asia, Europe and the Middle East through a single trading partner, instead of managing many relationships in many time zones.
Consolidated shipping
Goods from different suppliers can be brought together in the UAE and shipped as one consignment, reducing cost and complexity.
Speed to market
World-class port and air connectivity means shorter transit times and fewer surprises between order and delivery.
Our Mission
To be the sourcing partner African businesses can rely on — delivering the right products, at the right specification, on time and without complication.
Our Vision
To become a leading trade bridge between global manufacturers and African markets, recognised for reliability, integrity and long-term partnership rather than one-off transactions.
Our Capabilities
What we bring to every order
Global Sourcing
We identify and vet suppliers across multiple markets to find the right product at the right price — including items outside our listed ranges.
Specification Matching
We work to the exact grade, model or specification required, so what arrives is what was ordered.
Consolidation & Logistics
Multiple suppliers, one shipment. We coordinate consolidation and forwarding from our UAE base.
Responsive Quoting
Send us a product list and quantities; our team comes back quickly with pricing and availability.
What We Stand For
Our Values
Integrity
We quote honestly, communicate openly, and would rather decline an order than overpromise on one.
Reliability
Supply is only useful if it is consistent. We build our processes around doing what we said we would do.
Partnership
We measure success in repeat business, not single transactions.
Quality
We deal in trusted brands and verified specifications — a product that fails costs far more than it saved.
Market Focus
Serving Africa, sourcing the world
From our UAE headquarters we supply clients across African markets, working with importers, distributors, retailers, workshops and industrial buyers.
Our category mix reflects real demand across these markets — from lubricants and marine spare parts keeping fleets and vessels running, to the electronics, mobile and personal-care products moving through fast-growing consumer channels.
Need something we don't list?
