We are an investment company established in 1995 in Rwanda, initially under the name Tri-Star Investments Limited, before rebranding to the current name Crystal Ventures Limited (CVL) in 2009.

The company was founded to meet challenges of economic recovery and to utilise growth opportunities in a virgin environment. The founders were among the pioneers of Rwanda’s private sector who took on the task of rehabilitating the gone-to-seed commercial trade.

CVL reinvested its returns to create what is now one of the largest investment companies in the country.

We have, since inception, spurred the growth of businesses whose choices of investments are determined by the opportunity to make a significant impact on the socioeconomic landscape accompanied by the opportunity to venture into unexplored sectors with high socio-economic returns, in a developing economy.

Our main investments are in engineering, fast moving consumable goods, construction materials, and security service sectors.

CVL underwent a transformation phase in the past years in various fields i.e. corporate governance, operations, finance, human capital management, communications and IT systems. The transformation ushered the company into an era that continues to be a stepping stone for the current and future growth and sustainability of the group.
