Made in Nigeria · For Africa · For the World
600,000,000 rapid diagnostic tests per year, manufactured 100% in Abuja, Nigeria. The only facility in Africa with complete technology transfer and full production independence.
The Problem
For decades, Nigeria and the wider African continent depended entirely on imported diagnostic test kits to detect malaria, HIV, hepatitis, and other diseases killing millions every year. Long supply chains. Inflated costs. No control. Life-or-death delays when global supply chains broke down.
The Solution
In February 2024, NASENI and TROMENT Nigeria Limited signed a historic MoU, backed by Vision Biotechnology, a European diagnostics leader with 25+ years of experience, to build Nigeria's first, fully independent rapid diagnostic test manufacturing facility in Idu, Abuja.
The Future
With WHO Pre-Qualification and Health Canada registration in progress, and a production capacity of 600 million tests per year, NASENI-TROMENT is positioned to export across ECOWAS's 450 million people and beyond.
Built from a greenfield site in October 2024, the NASENI-TROMENT factory is now complete, and already the most advanced diagnostic manufacturing facility on the African continent.
Lateral-flow diagnostic test strips manufactured end to end, from raw material to finished product, entirely on-site.
The only facility in Africa molding diagnostic cassettes in-house. True independence: not assembly, not packaging under license.
Dedicated Quality Assurance, Quality Control, regulatory, and molecular biology facilities, all built to ISO 13485 standards.
It is the only facility in Africa to manufacture 100%, to have had a full technology transfer, and who is totally independent in its strategy of production.
