OUR HISTORY The beginning of A&S Trading Agency like many great establishments in the world was inspired by visionary thinking and a commitment to excellence. A&S (Antwi & Sons) Trading Agency is an offspring from a parent company known as Antwison Limited. Antwison Limited was originated by E. D. Antwi, a District Commissioner (D C) of the Kwame Nkrumah Regime. After the Nkrumah regime was overthrown in 1966, Mr. E. D. Antwi, affectionately known as D C Antwi, was imprisoned for a year. The vision to start a Shoe Manufacturing Company was nurtured whilst still in prison, when he was finally released in 1967 his vision became a reality with the establishment of a small Shoe Manufacturing Company at Nkawkaw (a small town in the Eastern Region of Ghana) with only 3 workers. The company gradually expanded with manufacturing branches in Kumasi (the 2nd largest City of Ghana) and Accra (the Capital City of Ghana) with a sizeable number of employees and clients/customers. Antwison Limited was taken to another level in conformity with the advancing business age when Seth Antwi stepped into the shoes of his father as the C E O. Antwison Limited evolved to A&S Trading Agency with the addition of the Clothing and Jewelry arms under the leadership of Seth Antwi. Export-import links have been established in Europe to expand our business domain. The idea to establish European links dates as far back as the late 1980’s when Seth Antwi was living in Germany. A&S Tradidg Agency has been registered in Germany for the past 5 years. Our tentacles have now expanded to include the importation of Autos and Alcoholic Beverages across Ghana, Germany, U.K., U.S. and Canada. As a company with a solid familial succession plan, we are bringing up a new generation of leaders to take the company to greater heights in the all-new business era, spear-headed by Enoch Antwi who is currently studying in Germany.
