SoKlin, together with Paris Saint-Germain, unveiled an exclusive regional partnership in West Africa today. This is a 3-year partnership which will extend to 2025, covering the West African countries of Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Mali.
SoKlin, a Wings Group brand, is a household name in the region, as a leading premium detergent in sub-Saharan countries. Since its introduction to the continent in 1995, the Concentrated Detergent brand has been trusted by millions of families in Africa to provide an excellent wash that is ‘Faster, Brighter, and Cleaner’.
