The Industrial Heartbeat of Burkina Faso

Naigaiba Auto Industrie is the realization of a bold vision: to establish a sovereign, world-class industrial base in the heart of West Africa. From our headquarters in Ouagadougou and our state-of-the-art, 41-hectare complex in Bobo-Dioulasso, we are engineering the future of regional mobility and defense.

We are not simply an assembly plant; we are a catalyst for economic independence, technological advancement, and national pride. By localizing the entire value chain—from engineering and assembly to customization and after-sales support—we are building a resilient ecosystem that creates high-skilled jobs, fosters local talent, and retains value within our economy. Every vehicle that rolls off our production line is a testament to the power and potential of "Made in Burkina."

Our Vision

Driving a Pan-African Industrial Renaissance

Our vision extends beyond the borders of Burkina Faso. We aim to be the benchmark for industrial excellence in West Africa, creating a hub of innovation, quality, and self-reliance that inspires a continent-wide industrial renaissance.

We envision a future where critical industrial and defense assets are designed, built, and maintained in Africa, by Africans, for Africa. By continuing to invest in technology, people, and partnerships, we are laying the groundwork for a more prosperous, secure, and industrially independent future for the entire region.
