Business
Labat Africa Limited functions as an investment holding entity based in South Africa. The company cultivates a portfolio across several key sectors, including Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Energy, and Logistics. Its technology operations are anchored by South African Micro-Electronic Systems (SAMES), which delivers solutions in microchips, energy-metering, and biometric systems, alongside recent expansions into IT hardware and software distribution across the African continent through strategic acquisitions. Labat also maintains interests in energy, notably through its Force Fuel and Autogas units. Having recently completed the divestiture of its cannabis-related healthcare assets, the group is strategically intensifying its focus on high-growth areas like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and fintech, aiming to foster digital transformation and financial inclusion across Africa. Established in 1995, Labat Africa is headquartered in Roodepoort.
