Our History
Since 2011, AFEX Sarl has been building the infrastructure that drives West African industry. Starting in Conakry with a handful of cranes and boundless ambition, the company has risen to become a regional benchmark — now operating across six countries from offices in Conakry and Kankan. Every completed project reinforces our belief: combining European rigour with on-the-ground African expertise is the key to flawless execution.

Based in Conakry, AFEX provides heavy equipment and mining equipment rental with fast mobilization to Boké, Boffa, Kamsar, Sangaredi, Siguiri, Kankan and across Guinea.
