Engen expands

Wed, 08 Oct 2008

Engen Petroleum says it has finalised its acquisition of Shell International's downstream business in Lesotho.

Its footprint in sub-Saharan Africa now extended to 17 countries outside South Africa, the company said on Monday.

The Lesotho operation involved annual volumes of 36-million litres of retail and commercial fuel and lubricants, giving it just under 21 percent of the market.
