Fondation et Forage d’Afrique (FFA) is a leading African engineering and construction company specializing in technical drilling, special foundations, and water infrastructure. Through its operations across several African countries, FFA has built a strong reputation for delivering complex geotechnical works, hydraulic drilling, and mining exploration services for both public and private sector clients.
As part of the continued development of FFA, Groupe Duval decided to transfer its stake to Adeoti Group, a well-established local construction and civil engineering company.
