Company Description
Azam Uganda is a premier household consumer brand and industrial powerhouse operating as a major subsidiary of the Bakhresa Group, a multi-billion dollar East African conglomerate founded by Tanzanian tycoon Said Salim Awadh Bakhresa. Since establishing its presence in Uganda, the brand has heavily dominated both the agro-processing manufacturing sector and the digital media space. The corporation splits its core national operations into specialized entities—primarily Bakhresa Grain Milling (Uganda) Limited and Azam Media Uganda Limited—to drive massive cross-border trade, employment, and retail services across the region.
The cornerstone of the brand’s industrial operations is Bakhresa Grain Milling (Uganda) Limited, which stands as the largest wheat mill in the country. Located at its massive industrial complex along Jinja Road in Bweyogerere, Kampala, the state-of-the-art facility processes a staggering 1,100 tonnes of wheat per day and features an expansive storage silo capacity of 39,700 tonnes. Its flagship products include premium baking flours optimized for breads, chapatis, biscuits, and confectionery. Due to its rigorous production standards, the milling arm has consistently won the “People’s Choice Quality Awards” and was honored with the prestigious President’s Export Silver Award.
Beyond manufacturing, the brand has revolutionized local entertainment through Azam Media Uganda Limited (Azam TV), a leading pay-television provider. Operating its main corporate and subscription headquarters from Plot 19 Golf Course Road in Lower Kololo, Kampala, the provider delivers multi-channel direct-to-home (DTH) satellite broadcast packages. Its popular tiered bouquets—including Azam Pure, Plus, and Play—range affordably from UGX 13,000 to UGX 45,000 per month, serving unbanked and everyday populations. The network is a major driver of sports culture, broadcasting localized Swahili and English series, live international football matches, and premium news bulletins.
As part of its modern supply chain and manufacturing expansion, the group has diversified its footprint with Azam Uganda Limited, anchoring heavy operations at Namawojolo in Mukono District. This secondary industrial node serves as a vital logistics, packaging, and raw ingredient warehousing center that actively manages hundreds of international import-export shipments to safeguard production lines. By combining high-capacity food processing with an extensive mass-media network and climate-controlled distribution channels, the Azam brand continues to scale its market dominance and enrich local urban and rural livelihoods throughout Uganda
