Gatbro’s Commitment to Community:
Zambia at 60 Years
As Zambia celebrates its 60th anniversary, Gatbro International takes this moment to reflect on its journey of growth, community engagement, and unwavering dedication to its customers. Over the past six decades, Zambia and Gatbro International have undergone significant transformations, and we take pride in contributing to the nation’s progress. From the beginning, our mission has been to bring the best products at the best prices to our customers’ favourite stores, transcending borders and consistently exceeding expectations.
From the outset, Gatbro International has been driven by a simple yet powerful mission: to deliver exceptional products at unbeatable prices. This mission, rooted in a deep understanding of our customers’ needs and aspirations, has guided our growth from a local supplier to a cross-border leader in the industry. With each product we introduce and each market we enter, we strive to exceed expectations and redefine value in the retail sector.
Central to Gatbro International’s success is our unwavering commitment to community care—a commitment that goes beyond business. Over the years, our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives have touched countless lives, from providing critical support to the Beit Cure Children’s Hospital to our ongoing contributions to the cancer clinic at the University Teaching Hospital. Our efforts during national emergencies, such as the cholera outbreak and the current load-shedding crisis, have further solidified our role as a reliable partner in the community’s well-being.
Our dedication to fostering community empowerment is exemplified by innovative initiatives that promote self-sufficiency and entrepreneurship. One of our key focus areas is creating competitions and platforms that enable individuals to unlock their potential and create employment opportunities for themselves. By providing access to resources such as fully equipped trailers and braai bikes, community members can turn their ideas into tangible businesses and sustainable livelihoods.
As Zambia reaches this historic 60th anniversary, we at Gatbro International take pride in our role in this nation’s journey. The trust and support of our communities have been the cornerstone of our success, and we are deeply grateful. Moving forward, we are more committed than ever to contributing to Zambia’s continued development, working hand in hand with our partners and customers to build a brighter, more prosperous future for all.
Looking ahead, Gatbro International is excited about the future and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. We pledge to continue our work in uplifting communities, driving economic growth, and fostering a spirit of innovation across Zambia. We will keep building on this legacy with our customers, partners, and communities—one community at a time.
