Recently, ES-KO Angola began a landmark collaboration with Barloworld Angola to manage catering and support services at the company’s Luanda premises.
Each weekday, ES-KO now provides freshly prepared, nutritionally balanced meals for approximately 150 employees. The menus feature a variety of proteins, salads, soups, vegetables, breads, desserts, and beverages — carefully planned to meet international dietary and portion standards.
To further enhance the experience, ES-KO customized and branded the canteen, which is strategically located at the main customer entrance. Beyond catering, ES-KO delivers cleaning support and supplies, ensuring the entire facility runs smoothly and maintains the highest hygiene standards.
Established in 1902, Barloworld is a leading industrial processing, distribution, and services company with operations spanning Industrial Equipment & Services and Consumer Industries. Its Industrial Equipment business supplies and supports critical machinery and power systems for the mining, construction, and energy sectors — a cornerstone of economic development in the regions where it operates. In Angola and Southern Africa Barloworld is also the official distributor of Caterpillar equipment.
The impact of this collaboration has been immediate: employee satisfaction has improved thanks to better meals and a more engaging dining space, and Barloworld benefits from a professional, reliable partner that helps reinforce its commitment to quality and employee well-being. The success in Luanda has already opened discussions about expanding ES-KO’s services to other Barloworld operations, particularly in the mining sector — signaling the start of a long-term partnership.
