Company Information
Genuine Products, Limited (GPL) represents whatever is best and real at all times. GPL is therefore both a concept and a deliverable.
A “concept” because we believe it is the way forward, and a “deliverable” because that is what you get when you do business with us. This explains why our credo is “home of affordable quality solutions”.
Our Mission
Genuine Products, Limited (GPL) provides excellent start-up products and support services to developing organizations, businesses and individuals with the ultimate aim of helping Africa to grow at a faster and sustainable pace.
Our Goal
The broad objective or goal of Genuine Products, Limited is to provide dedicated and satisfactory support services to our clients and eventually become one of the best business support service providers; business development consultancy service providers and quality goods suppliers in Africa - South of the Sahara.
Our History
Genuine Products, Limited (GPL) began in 2003 to address a yawning gap in the business sector of Ghana particularly and West Africa in general. The paucity of information and relevant services/products to support the growing business arena. Subsequently GPL has been a pioneer in several areas. We have brought quality packaging to West Africa and has thus made several Ghanaian-produced products marketable globally. GPL was the first to introduce plastic shrink labelling to Ghana.
We deal in affordable solutions because we are aware of the reality on the ground. We bring West African solutions that until today used to cost ten times more.
