Over the years, the Company expanded into various parts of Nigeria investing in properties and also in general trade and the sales and service of motor vehicles.
The Company later devolved into Leventis Motors Limited (established in 1958), Leventis Stores Limited (1965), Leventis Technical Limited (1972) whilst it retained ownership of valuable freehold and leasehold property throughout the country.
Under and by virtue of a series of Mergers and Schemes of Arrangement, the afore-mentioned companies merged with A. G. Leventis (Nigeria) Plc. and they were dissolved and the Group acquired its current name.
