Our story

Built on nearly two decades of trade.

Move with Africa's speed. Build with global standards.

Fidel Sims · Founder & CEO

Filsims Group began with one entrepreneur trading across borders. Over nearly twenty years, that work grew from local trade into international partnerships across Africa, China, the Gulf and North America.

Today the group brings that experience together in two registered companies, one in Canada and one in Kenya, with local teams and our own technology, so the people and businesses we serve can move between markets with confidence.
