During the celebrations of Angola’s 50th Anniversary of Independence, Wissam Nesr, Executive Chairman of Webcor Group, received the Medal of Peace & Development from His Excellency President João Lourenço.

This national distinction recognises a long-standing partnership built on investment, trust, and shared belief in Angola’s potential. From the early years of rebuilding essential supply chains to the creation of industries that feed, employ, and empower communities, Webcor’s trajectory has been deeply connected to the country’s path toward growth and self-sufficiency.

Over time, the Group has helped to strengthen local production, develop national talent, and promote social progress through education, training, and community initiatives.

The honour reflects not only individual achievement but also the collective effort of thousands of people whose dedication and integrity have shaped one of Angola’s most dynamic industrial groups.

Reflecting on this recognition, Wissam Nesr stated:

“Deeply honoured to have been decorated by the President of Angola during the 50th Anniversary of Independence.

This distinction is not mine alone; it belongs to my family, our teams, partners, and friends who have walked this journey with us. Each of you has given your energy, loyalty, and heart to build what Webcor has achieved in Angola. This recognition is for all of you.

Together, as one family, at home and at work, we have turned commitment into impact and dreams into industries that serve the country and its people.”

 

The Medal of Peace & Development stands as a tribute to a partnership that has evolved over many years and continues to grow with the same purpose that inspired its beginning: contributing to Angola’s progress, prosperity, and future.
