C&M is a wholly owned Malawian company that sells and distributes a diverse range of high-quality proprietary and commodity pharmaceuticals, as well as industrial and agricultural chemicals.
Engen is well represented in southern Africa but to date has not had any formal representation in the Malawian market. It will supply the Malawi market through its Durban blend plant (which has an output of 145 000 kilometric tons per annum), augmenting this supply chain with imports, where needed. The lubricants range includes its automotive oils for petrol and diesel engines, universal tractor oils, gear and transmission oils, industrial oils, greases and utility products such as brake fluids. It will also distribute a wide range of chemicals, which includes solvents and polymers.
"Chemicals & Marketing was appointed as the distributor in Malawi because of its outstanding reputation in the Malawian market and extensive lubricants knowledge," says Wayne Hartmann, general manager of Engen International Business Division. "Engen and C&M share a similar corporate culture of doing business with integrity and honesty, while putting the customer first."
Patrick Khembo, MD of C&M, comments that the addition of the Engen brand to its portfolio will further enhance its reputation as a dependable supplier of quality products and will boost its market position. "We welcome the opportunity to distribute a new quality range from it and its alliance partners and look forward to making further impact on our customers' businesses with it."
