About us

The spirit of ASAS

ASAS Group of Companies is one of the oldest and biggest business groups in Tanzania. It began in 1936 as A. S. Abri Transporters, a single truck in Iringa.

In 1978 the business became ASAS Group, moving beyond transport into dairy, energy, farming and property. Today every ASAS company shares one promise: excellence in all we do.
