Engen appoints Galana as Indian Ocean distributor

Malaysian company Petronas’ African unit, Engen, has extended its Indian Ocean coverage with the appointment of leading regional oil company Galana as its lubricants distributor in Madagascar. With marketing operations in 18 African countries, Engen further exports its products to more than 30 African and Indian Ocean countries, and continues to seize acquisitive, organic and partner growth opportunities in the regions. Engen International Business Division General Manager Wayne Hartmaan said the partnership was exclusive and constituted a good platform on which to establish Engen’s brand relatively quickly in the Indian Ocean.
