Introduction to Wigmore Trading and its Nylon Bags

Wigmore Trading is a Ghanaian company that specializes in the production of high-quality nylon bags. The company was founded in Accra in 2014 by two young entrepreneurs, Kwame and Kofi Asamoah.

Wigmore Trading’s nylon bags are made from 100% recycled materials and are designed to be durable and versatile. The bags come in a variety of colors and sizes, and can be used for a variety of purposes, including shopping, laundry, and storage.

In addition to their nylon bags, Wigmore Trading also produces a line of reusable shopping bags made from recycled materials. These bags are available in a variety of colors and sizes, and can be used for both shopping and storage.

In 2016, Wigmore Trading partnered with the Ghanaian nonprofit organization One Village One Product (1V1P) to launch a new line of fair trade certified nylon bags. This partnership allows Wigmore Trading to sell their nylon bags at a fair price to Ghanaian consumers while also supporting 1V1P’s mission to promote economic development in rural communities.

The launch of the fair trade certified nylon bag line was a success, and Wigmore Trading has since expanded their production capacity to meet the growing demand for their products. In addition to their Accra factory, the company now has production facilities in Kumasi and Tamale.
