Operating through wholly owned subsidiaries MDV Industries Limited, MDV Sacks Limited, Globe Spinning Mills Limited, PENL Limited, NPCP Limited, MDV PLC, and Bhojsons PLC, the Group spans automotive assembly and distribution, plastics and industrial packaging manufacturing, telecom infrastructure ducts, FMCG and hygiene production, energy storage distribution, and water/agricultural solutions.

Core products include Lifan and Jincheng motorcycles, Piaggio and Dayun (since 2012) passenger and cargo tricycles, MDV PLB HDPE telecom ducts produced at up to 50,000 km annually — making MDV Industries the recognized West African leader in this niche — together with MDV PVC pipes, corrugated HDPE pipes, and optical fibre cables.
