It is active in Benin, where it is constructing a road from Godomey to Cotonou, a project funded by the World Bank. The success of the company in Benin and the significantly lower prices it offers than competitors has put in question the future of Colas Group, a French construction company with long standing history in the country.[1]

In Ghana, the company is constructing the new motorway overpass, linking Spintex road to East Legon.
