Gleco Oil Company, the official lubricants distributor in Zambia for African energy multinational Engen Petroleum, has set up a second lubricants depot in Ndola. The expansion in Ndola is to cater to the ever-growing business activity in Zambia’s famous copper belt region.
“We wanted to be closer to the mining activities, and in particular provide the market with easier access to Engen’s high-quality lubricants. Ndola has undergone massive economic growth, with much infrastructure development and new industry activity,” Collins Simushi, MD of Gleco said.
Simushi says the new depot is good news for Gleco’s customers. “Previously, some would come all the way to Lusaka, but now we are bringing product right to their doorstep – this is what our customers want.”
“We bring Engen’s promise of putting the customer first to Zambia.”
Jean-Blaise Ollomo, the new MD of Engen Zambia, says the Gleco-Engen partnership is good for the guaranteed empowerment of Zambians as the company expands in the country, strengthening the economy.
“The Ndola depot is now fully operational and offers a wide range of Engen lubricants,” says Simushi.
