OUR JOURNEY

A lot of people ask us what Chi-Africa means. The original answer is fairly standard, it is the amalgamation of Chichester, where we are based, and Africa where our products are produced. However, Chi-Africa has come to be an embodiment of a lifestyle for many of us involved with the company. A company with a purpose and with a great background story. We created our business in 1999, and it is still a pleasure to explain more about who & what Chi-Africa is.
