    Our history

    The catalyst at the centre
    of four entities.

    The three other entities fall under ACE Trust, namely ACE Africa, Commodity Services Limited (CSL), and Chithumba. While they all have their own strategies and mandates, they are committed to a shared set of values, with integrity, transparency, and openness at the core.

    They constantly collaborate and complement each other’s activities, working towards ACE’s goal for structured trade in Malawi. ACE Trust is therefore the catalyst, coordinating efforts across the organisation to ensure that ACE develops in line with the vision and supports the different entities.
