The Decisions That Build a Country
With youth joblessness at 44.4%, Namibia cannot recruit its way out of a skills gap. Leadership means first chances, local
As Namibia continues to grow and diversify its economy, the importance of local manufacturing has never been greater. At August 26 Manufacturing, we believe that what Namibia needs can, and should, increasingly be made in Namibia.
Made for Namibia, by Namibians is more than a statement. It reflects our commitment to local manufacturing and our belief in the capabilities of Namibian people. As a proudly Namibian manufacturer, August 26 Manufacturing continues to produce quality garments and protective clothing designed to meet the needs of a wide range of industries.
From PPC to corporate wear, healthcare apparel, tracksuits and specialised garments, our products support diverse sectors, including mining, oil and gas, green hydrogen, healthcare, security, government and private industry.
At the heart of August 26 Manufacturing is a clear purpose: to manufacture quality products for Namibia, by Namibians. We are driven by a commitment to excellence in production, consistency in quality and responsiveness to the needs of the industries we serve. Through local manufacturing, we aim to contribute to Namibia’s industrial growth while creating opportunities and showcasing the capabilities of Namibian talent.
August 26 Manufacturing (Pty) Ltd is a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of August 26 Holding Company (Pty) Ltd, established in March 2020 to engage with clients and play a leading role in the manufacturing of various garment and footwear products. The company has two factories: one in Windhoek specialising in garments, and the other in Okahandja focusing on footwear and leather products.
Our vision extends beyond what we manufacture today. We want to be part of a future where Namibian businesses increasingly have access to quality, locally manufactured products and where local manufacturing plays a meaningful role in building a more resilient economy.
Made for Namibia, by Namibians. It is our contribution to a stronger Namibia – one product, one skill and one opportunity at a time.
