Namib Mills

Namib Mills is the leading grain processing company in Namibia and a cornerstone of the country’s food security system. Established in 1982 in Windhoek, the company has grown from a single maize mill into a major industrial powerhouse with facilities across the country, including operations in Otavi and Katima Mulilo. It is best known for producing staple foods that are household names throughout the region, such as Top Score maize meal, Bakpro wheat flour, and Pasta Polana. In addition to milling, the company has diversified its portfolio to include the packaging of rice and sugar, as well as the production of animal feed through its associated division, Feedmaster.

Beyond its manufacturing capabilities, Namib Mills plays a significant role in the socio-economic landscape of Namibia through extensive distribution networks and community initiatives. The company utilizes state-of-the-art technology to maintain high-quality standards and has expanded its reach to export products to neighboring countries like South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana. They are also actively involved in stimulating the local economy by supporting small and medium enterprises; for example, their “vetkoek” training programs help local entrepreneurs build small businesses using Namib Mills flour products.⁷ This commitment aligns with their broader corporate philosophy of “feeding the nation” while fostering sustainable industrial development
