Pioneering the Future of African Industry
We are more than a company; we are a strategic national project dedicated to strengthening sovereignty and driving economic growth through local automotive industrialization.
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."
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.
Forging a Sovereign Industrial Future
Our core mission is to establish and champion a robust, self-sufficient automotive industry within Burkina Faso. By localizing the assembly and modification of heavy-duty and defense vehicles, we directly contribute to our nation's economic resilience, technological advancement, and strategic independence.
We believe in the power of "Made in Burkina" to create sustainable careers, develop local expertise, and build a world-class industrial ecosystem that serves the needs of West Africa and beyond, proving that industrial excellence can and will thrive on African soil.
