Volkswagen VW opens office into Malawi
German automobile manufacturer, Volkswagen (VW), has opened an office in Malawi via a partnership with a new local agent, CFAO Malawi Limited. The moves marks Volkswagen’s first official entry into the South-eastern African state.
“VW is an exciting brand and we look forward to giving our customers an opportunity of seeing a prestigious brand and the services we offer,” said CFAO’s managing director, David Blair.

I have driven other car brands, but VW & Audi surpases them all in confort and road stability. You can be driving @ 200km/hr and the car will look as if its travelling @ 80km/hr

We like nice cars
I beg to differ with the article Automotive Products Limited were VW’s previous dealers. Find out.
I thought Automotive Products has been the VW dealers in Malawi? When was dealership given to CFAO? Is it because there is no white man at Automotive Products. I smell racism of highest order.
Good news to hear that, we will be getting spares very close than to go to south Africa. Manufacture please take this complain! Your cars are very good but door handles are not strong I have to fixe door handles every three to four months, please improve on door handles.
VW has opened an office, I was waiting to hear that VW have opened a car manufacturing plant in Malawi. Office? Malawians we still have a long way to go. Office? Anyway half loaf is better than none. By the way, where is the office? Though we know we know very well that it can’t be in Mzuzu. Since everything starts in the south and after ten years goes to Mzuzu.
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkk,what is this?Automotive products were the guys who have been servicing my vw so where is cfao coming from?bwinotu bwino.
Malawians are used to cheap recycled Japanese vehicles. The comfort of a VW will be a plausible introduction. CFAO crooks will sell to rip everyone off.
Zofunika zimenezo…ma spare parts azipezeka pafupi. Trully VWs are trustworthy cars…top class vehicles amene popangidwa amaikapo mtima. That’s great VW
