Rubis Energy, the French Oil distributing Company, on Wednesday launched its operations in Kenya with expectations to be a driving force in the development of Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the country.
This is after it acquired KenolKobil Plc and Gulf Energy Holdings Ltd becoming a leader in the Kenyan oil industry with a market share of over 21 percent and a network of more than 230 service stations.
Total Kenya and Vivo Energy Kenya have a market share of 16.4 percent and 16.2 percent respectively.
“We decided to enter the Kenyan market based on the region’s high growth potential and the conviction that the proven expertise of RUBiS would bring extra value to all Kenyan customers,” said Jean-Christian Bergeron, the Group Managing Director of RUBiS Energy Kenya.
“In addition to the acquisition of KenolKobil Plc and Gulf Energy Holdings Ltd, we will continue to invest heavily in the market through modernization of our existing retail outlets into state-of-the-art service stations,” Bergeron added.
