Delivroum, the leading food delivery app in Togo has announced that it has been acquired by Gozem in a transaction that combines Gozem’s transportation network strength with the breadth of Delivroum’s restaurant network, in the hopes of creating an unparalleled food delivery platform in Togo.
Founded in 2018 in Lomé, Delivroum was the first dedicated food delivery app in the West African country. And thanks to the Delivroum acquisition, Gozem will be able to broaden its delivery offerings in Togo, to add meal delivery to a bundle of services that includes delivery of groceries, cooking gas bottles, and various other e-commerce items. In the near term, Delivroum operations will not be impacted and Delivroum customers can keep ordering meals via the Delivroum app as usual.
“For Delivroum, it’s a natural step to join Gozem as we’ve been in discussions for some time on how to best work together. We highly value the strong growth capability and local, multi-geography knowledge that Gozem and the management team has demonstrated. We’re proud and excited to join the family,” says Jean-Claude Kunakey, Delivroum Co-Founder.

This transaction enables us to fast track our food delivery business in the country and we’re thrilled to integrate like-minded young entrepreneurs in our growth journey across Africa,” says Jean-Martial Moulaud, Country Manager at Gozem Togo.
