The Journey to Sidelead started in 2008. Travelling from New Delhi, India, where he was involved in natural stone sales and export to the European countries, our founder started sourcing agricultural commodities for local export companies in west africa.

In 2011, he established a company called LOGIS, located in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, with the aim to trade and handle the physical sourcing and supply of raw cashew kernels to local exporters. With time, the company started to plan its international growth.

SIDELEAD will later be created in London, United Kingdom, and in Gabon, central Africa, to enhance the initiated trading activity with a wider perspective to be a leading firm in the international trade of physical commodities, specialising on the African continent.

The company is now involved not only in soft commodities which stands the company’s priority, but also hard commodities and other manufactured products that are needed by our clients.
