Célestin Tawamba: The Top Honcho in Cameroon's Business Scene

Célestin Tawamba: The Top Honcho in Cameroon's Business Scene

(Business in Cameroon) - Running Cadyst Invest, Célestin Tawamba leads four companies in pharmaceuticals and agro-industries. These include La Pasta and Panzani Cameroon, making pasta, and Cinpharm and SIPP (Industrial Company of Pharmaceutical Products), producing generic drugs and medical consumables. Since 2017, he’s also been the top honcho of Cameroonian business owners. After heading the Inter-Patronal Group of Cameroon (Gicam), the country’s largest business organization, he merged it with Entreprises du Cameroun (Ecam), another, less influential group. Despite internal disputes over his power, Tawamba set up the Group of Cameroonian Companies (Gecam) and is gearing up to lead it.
