— Sylva Frank International, LagosSylva Frank International Limited is a Nigerian general merchants and industrialists company headquartered in Lagos. We started in trading — moving everyday goods through the market — and grew into something bigger: a brand-led FMCG business with our own portfolio, our own distribution model, and our own ambitions for the African consumer market.
Today our work spans brand ownership, product development, sourcing, importation, and trade-led distribution — anchored by our flagship household brand, St Rita, and built for long-term scale across Nigeria and West Africa.
Our work is organized around six clear areas — each one a lever for scale, a discipline we hold ourselves to, and a promise we make to the partners we work with.
We own and grow proprietary household brands. Long-term equity in our own labels, not transactional resale.
