Kobil Petroleum Rwanda is a fully-owned subsidiary of the Kenya’s Kenol Kobil Group. It has consolidated its oil market leadership position by acquiring all the service stations of Stippag, a local petroleum company.
This acquisition came after two years of the company’s acquisition of the entire assets of Shell Rwanda in 2006, comprising 17 service stations and the largest fuel terminal in the country.
In 2007 it was followed by the acquisition of 20 service stations belonging to a local company, KLSS.
Kobil Rwanda was incorporated in May 2002 with the aim of covering markets of Rwanda, Burundi and eastern Congo.
In 2005, the company introduced its K-Gas LPG brand, becoming the only major trader in this segment in Rwanda. The acquisition is expected to boost the company’s performance in Rwanda.
