Vivo Energy

Vivo Energy is a major downstream energy and fuels company operating and distributing high-quality petroleum products and services across multiple African markets, establishing itself as a cornerstone of the continent’s fuel retail, commercial fuels, and lubricant supply infrastructure. Vivo Energy was founded in 2011 as a partnership between global energy and investment partners with the objective of purchasing and growing the downstream fuels business of Shell in Africa, and has since expanded its footprint across North, West, East and Southern Africa with strategic growth in both Shell-branded and Engen-branded service stations.

In addition to its Shell retail operations, Vivo Energy is the official licensee of the Engen brand in several African markets, further expanding its retail network and customer reach. The integration of Engen’s assets has significantly broadened the company’s footprint — boosting the number of service stations, expanding energy distribution capacity and reinforcing Vivo Energy’s strategic vision of becoming the most respected energy business in Africa.
