sent abroad for a more complete formation process.
Promotion within the company is part of the vision
of the management team. Good social benefits and
health insurance are also offered to the employ-
ees, along with financial credits with a 0% interest
to some of them. The service department counts 25
people and only the manager is German, the other
being Angolans.
For the near future, C. Woermann Angola concen-
trates on consolidating and cleaning the product line,
finding more local resellers, and training the local
workforce. The installations will not be extended as
the emphasis will be put on intensifying the already
existing relationships with clients and partners. Nev-
ertheless, other brands could be added to the line if
they fit the line of C. Woermann.
C.Woermann has strong working ethics and expects
the same from its partners. In only five years in An-
gola, it has already gained a great reputation thanks
to fair prices and good services and is among the
most important companies of this industry. And the
prospects are also very good for the next years.
“There are opportunities in every field in Angola but
one must be very well prepared and find the good
people to do the job here. It is important to work with
an open heart; it is the key to success. Money alone
will not help. If people feel you love their country,
they will welcome you.”

“Peace is a value we all learn to respect. It makes
us an extraordinary, humble people, incredibly dedi-
cated and willing to learn. If we add to this human
element the fact that in this huge country everything,
from the smallest thing to the most complicated, is
left to be done, here we have the two basic ingredi-
ents for any enterprise destined for success.”
