About Rocket Africa

One Regional Partner for African Markets

Rocket is a branded merchandise supplier with deep African market expertise and the operational infrastructure to support multi-country campaigns from a single point of contact. We supply corporate gifts, promotional products, branded apparel, trade marketing collateral, event merchandise, display systems, and custom-manufactured items across African markets.

We are not a fulfilment house. We work directly with brands, procurement teams, agencies and regional marketing leads to plan, source, produce and deliver merchandise that works in-market — on time, on brand, and to a consistent quality standard across every country in scope.

Our clients range from multinational FMCG brands running continent-wide activations to regional telecoms, financial institutions and NGOs procuring branded merchandise across multiple African countries in a single order cycle.

What are Rocket's typical lead times?

Items from stock ship within 15 days with no minimum order. Made-to-order items take 4 to 6 weeks by air and 2 to 3 months by sea. Lead times are confirmed per order based on product, quantity and destination.

What is Rocket's minimum order quantity?

Minimum order quantity typically starts from 300 pieces for made-to-order items. Smaller quantities are available from in-stock lines across our East and Southern African supply partners.

Does Rocket handle customs and duties on cross-border shipments?

For countries outside our office footprint, Rocket can often offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms where we handle all customs clearance and duties, so clients receive goods ready for use at their delivery address. Please ask us if this is available for your country.
