Engen distributor opens 11th service station in Cameroon

Blessing's MD, Paul Dengoue, said that Yapaki Service Station, situated in Dibombari on national road number 5, west of Douala, has been open for two months, offering drivers on their way out of the city, convenient 24-hour refuelling as well as engine services and oil changes between 6am and 7pm.

Dengoue said: "We started our business in 2010 and a year later we had opened four stations; over the past two years we have grown our network to 11 stations. There is no doubt that the petroleum industry in Cameroon is showing signs of growth. With the brand new site we will meet an increasing need in the region for a full range of quality lubricants for passenger cars, trucks, transit vans and motorcycles."

In line with growth plans

In addition to automotive oils, Blessing Petroleum will also market Engen's universal tractor oils, gear and transmission oils, industrial oils, marine oils, greases, and utility products such as brake fluids.

Kamil de Villiers, Engen lubricants manager (international business development), said that the Blessing Petroleum retail expansion is in line with Engen lubricants growth plans in Cameroon.

Dengoue added that there were plans to open 20 service stations by the end of 2015.
