He said that he was hopeful they will break into other African countries in order to become a known name when it comes to vehicle manufacturing in Africa.

Kantanka Automobile, had its first production models built under its own badge hit the streets in 2016.

The company was founded by Apostle Dr Ing. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka, the Founder and Leader of Kristo Asafo Mission of Ghana.

It was subsequently incorporated as a limited liability company in 2001 with the main objective to research into the manufacturing of automotive components and their combination with other parts outsourced from component suppliers to form a completely built unit.

Kantanka vehicles are assembled in Ghana from CKD (Complete Knock Down) kits supplied by partnered firms, through Chongqing Big Science & Technology.
