SIAT Group

Siat is an agro-industrial group specialized in the establishment and management of oil palm and rubber plantations and allied processing and downstream industries. Currently, the group owns 40.000 hectares of oil palm plantations, 22.000 hectares of rubber plantations and a cattle ranch with 5.000 animals. Siat takes a long-term approach to strategic decision-making that recognizes the interests of every party involved. Across its subsidiaries in Nigeria, Ghana, Gabon, Ivory Coast and Cambodia, Siat employs over 15.000 people, while its head office is located in Brussels. Siat stands for "Société d'Investissement pour l'Agriculture Tropicale" (Investment Company in Tropical Agriculture). Our factories produce palm oil for the food manufacturing industry and rubber for the tire manufacturing industry. The group firmly believes in environmentally responsible management. All factory waste from the oil mills is recycled into the plantation or used as fuel to generate green process steam and electricity. The company also assists communities with education and infrastructure developments such as roads, potable water and electricity. This creates stability and commitment,which, in turn, provides security for the group's investments. We are always looking for dynamic and motivated individuals to join our team.
