    Name and logo

    Our name contains exceptional symbolism. In kimbundu, one of Angola’s main languages, the word “kwenda” means "to go ahead". However, Quenda’s work is not just about dynamism, because quality always takes priority. That’s why we replaced the first two letters from "Kw" with "Qu" with reference to Quality as fundamental value of our activity.

    The common logo of Quenda Group’s companies is also far from random. It represents a shield, which symbolises security and protection, but at the same time alludes to a mask, representing African traditions and beliefs. It is a combination of modernity and deep respect for the culture, which keeps inspiring us.

    We believe that quality and reliability are key to our growth and values we transfer to our clients. We take pride in the fact that every element of our brand identity exudes a sense of mission and passion which drive us every day.

Team

At Quenda, people are the most precious asset. We value experience and other skills of our employees and create work environment in which everyone can take satisfaction and sense of pride in her/his work. We build a solid team taking into account unique characteristics of each member. For us, company’s growth is sustainable only when it translates itself into each employee’s personal growth. In our team, experienced senior staff, mostly from Poland comes together with young, talented Angolans. This is how we pave way to actual transfer of knowledge and experience, essential to unlock the enormous potential of human capital in Angola.

Higher education:

    Quenda continues the tradition of Polish contribution to one of the most ambitious endeavors of the Government of Angola in the field of higher education: creation from scratch of a modern maritime oriented university in Namibe in the south of the country.

    Established in 2017 as the Namibe Academy of Fishery and Marine Sciences, in 2020 it was transformed into the University of Namibe, currently numbering more than 5000 students.

    The third phase of construction and equipment of the University of Namibe envisages completion of the existing campus to attain its projected functionality. The project consists of two major types of elements: construction of new facilities and services.
