Services
H.C. Serviços also works on an industrial project in
the area of Viana, in partnership with a Portuguese
company. Some other projects in neighboring coun-
tries are also under study.
The quality of services provided is a priority to satisfy
the customers and create loyalty and a good reputa-
tion. This is why H.C. concentrates on its core busi-
ness to consolidate its activity and always improve
its results. Over the past ten years, it has managed
to create a solid team of 42 employees, managed by
Angolan. Concerned with social responsibility, H.C.’s
vision is that the society and workers are important
and focus should be put on the development of the
country to leave a positive heritage.
“Angola is a land of opportunities but not a new El-
dorado. Success requires strong commitment and
patience, even though it offers beautiful landscapes
and people. It is important to do things properly and
leave a positive trace.”
