Rubis Énergie: distribution of petroleum products

AFRICA ZONE

MOROCCO Rubis Énergie entered the Moroccan market in 2000, in partnership with ceramics manufacturers, by building the continent’s largest propane import terminal (10,500 m 3 ), in Jorf Lasfar, 120 km south of Casablanca. This logistics platform helped Rubis develop a bulk- only retail distribution strategy that enabled it to become market leader. The Group operates through its logistics subsidiary, Lasfargaz (83% owned), and its distributor subsidiary, Vitogaz Maroc (wholly owned). In 2017 Vitogaz Maroc distributed 4,000 tonnes of LPG, in a bulk market focused essentially on diversified professional customers (ceramics, hotels, agriculture and residential). DJIBOUTI Djibouti is strategically located at the entrance to the Red Sea, on the Horn of Africa, and has a natural advantage making it the main if not the sole maritime access of Ethiopia, a high-growth country. Rubis acquired Total’s assets and business goodwill in Djibouti at the end of 2015. This new development allowed Rubis to take control of the leading distributor of petroleum products in the country, with operations spanning all segments: gas stations, aviation, commercial and marine fuel, and lubricants. In 2017 Rubis Énergie Djibouti distributed 75,000 m 3 , all fuels combined.
