HISTORY

Unfortunately, business Belshaw Limited had its humble beginnings in the backyard of its founder and owner, Mr. Kwabena Sarpong. Mr. Sarpong used his excellent knowledge of chemistry to develop chemical formulae for highly effective detergents, disinfectants and degreasers. In 1982, the company at Tesano in Accra consisted of two people: Mr. Sarpong and the late Mr. Kwame Asamoah. For approximately 7 months production continued and business gradually increased as independent salesmen were hired to market the various products.

operations had to come to a halt due to political instability in the latter part of 1982. In 1988, after relocating to Community 5 in Tema, operations resumed and Belshaw Limited has continued to grow since then. From 1982 to 1988 the workforce had grown to five people. The marketing of products was still contracted out to independent sales associates, but business steadily increased; sales
