Belshaw limited

With an excellent and well-spurned knowledge in chemistry, Mr. Kwabena Sarpong, started Belshaw limited from his residence, by developing several chemical formulae for the production of detergents and disinfectants. In 1982, the company began with two people, Mr. Kwabena Sarpong and Kwame Adum Asamoah (now deceased) at Tesano in Accra. Production continued, seven (7) months after commencement, and business gradually increased as independent sales men were hired to market the various products.

In 1988, the company moved to Community 5 in Tema, where the workforce increased from two to five independent sales men. These pursued their tasks with much passion, helping the business to progress steadily, as their efforts reflected in the increasing volume of production and orders by clients. This necessitated the establishment of a ‘real’ factory building.

The initial line of production Belshaw was involved were a range of liquid soaps and then expanded into the production of disinfectants, degreasers, hair and body care products, among others. Belshaw Limited has, over the years, supplied various institutions such as hospitals, clinics, schools, churches and supermarkets all over Ghana with detergents, disinfectants and degreasers. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, the company has sponsored several programmes and this reflects the interest it has for the well-being of the community in which it operates.
