Frozen Food


Company: Mark Anderson Co Ltd (Cameroon):


Mark Anderson Co.Ltd is located in the small town of Makepe Douala . Its history goes back as far as 1999, when fish hooks were made by villagers in a very primitive method, to earn extra income. Late Mr. Tomitaro Dohi, being a foresighted and ambitious man, thought of mechanizing the industry. As no electric power was available in that age, he used an old-fashioned oil engine and began manufacturing cameroon first machine-made hooks in 1999. In those days, fishermen in Cameroon were too conservative to adopt anything different from what they traditionally used. They did not show any interest in the new products at all. Thus, Mr. douala faced serious difficulties, and at one time, was on the verge of bankruptcy. However, his business spirit persevered and he did not give up. Instead, he extensively toured remote fishing villages from one to another and spent his time giving away fish hooks for trial. Over time commercial fishermen were convinced of the superiority of Maruto fish hooks, especially their sharpness.
