About the group

One group, four businesses, three continents

JS47 Holdings is a diversified holding company operating across logistics, telecommunications, energy, commodities and agri-processing. Our footprint spans Western Canada, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Burkina Faso.

We bridge North American logistics discipline with African resource and agricultural opportunity — connecting the businesses in our portfolio so that raw materials, refined products, parts and freight all move through a single, coordinated group.

01

Vertically connected

Sourcing, processing, transport and distribution are linked across the group — Virden moves what Legazia and Awa NEEMA trade, and Kirkella supplies the parts that keep fleets running.

02

Long-horizon and family-owned

We build durable infrastructure and trade links rather than chase short cycles — investing in terminals, plants, land and networks that compound value over decades.

03

Community partnership

We work through cooperatives, hire locally and source sustainably. Wherever we operate, we aim to be a partner in the community, not simply a supplier passing through.

Our companies

Four operating businesses, one connected group

Each company is a specialist in its sector — and each is deliberately linked into the group so that trade, transport and processing reinforce one another across Canada and Africa.

Values & impact

Partner, not supplier

A family-owned, long-horizon enterprise building durable infrastructure and trade links — and taking care of the people and places our businesses depend on.

Community partnership

We operate as a partner in the communities we work in — from women-led shea cooperatives in Burkina Faso to local hiring in southern DRC and rural Manitoba. Long-term relationships, not one-off transactions.

Sustainable sourcing & operations

Fair sourcing from cooperatives, responsible processing, circular parts recovery at Kirkella, FIBC reuse at Virden — sustainability is built into how each company earns its margin, not an afterthought.

Local employment & value-add

We process, refine and assemble close to the source — adding value where the raw materials come from and creating skilled jobs in each region we operate.
