Engen lubricants comes to Malawi
Chemicals & Marketing’s has been appointed as the official distributor of Engen Petroleum full range of lubricants and selected chemical products in Malawi.
Engen Petroleum, a subsidiary of PETRONAS Malaysia, one of the world’s leading integrated energy companies, is an African energy multinational with independent operations in 18 sub-Saharan countries.
While Engen is well-represented in southern Africa, to date the company has not had any formal representation in the Malawian market.
Engen manufactures a vast range of lubricants under its own brand and those of PETRONAS Lubricants International (PLI) and ExxonMobil, among others.
The company 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 to which Chemicals & Marketing has access includes Engen’s automotive oils for petrol and diesel engines, universal tractor oils, gear and transmission oils, industrial oils, greases and utility products such as brake fluids.
Chemicals & Marketing Company will also distribute a wide range of Engen chemicals, which includes solvents and polymers.
“Chemicals & Marketing was appointed as the Engen lubricants distributors in Malawi because of their outstanding reputation in the Malawian market and extensive lubricants knowledge,” says Wayne Hartmann, general manager of Engen International Business Division.
Hartmann adds that “Engen and C&M share a similar corporate culture of doing business with integrity and honesty, while putting the customer first.”
Patrick Khembo, Managing Director of Chemicals & Marketing, comments that the addition of the Engen brand to C&M’s portfolio will further enhance its reputation as a dependable supplier of quality products, and will also boost its market position.
“We welcome the opportunity to distribute a new quality range from Engen and its alliance partners, and look forward to making further impact on our customers’ businesses with it.”
Chemicals & Marketing Company Limited is a wholly owned Malawian company. The company sells and distributes a diverse range of high-quality proprietary and commodity pharmaceuticals, as well as industrial and agricultural chemicals.
It will distribute Engen’s lubricants through its own branches in Blantyre, Lilongwe and Mzuzu, and through reputable partners throughout the country.

putting the customer first my ass
Most companies survive because of the government of the day depending on their strategies they use.Read about Shell on how they got involved in Iranians politics, Libyan politics and Nigerian politics. Global companies such as these have even come to an extent of assisting in coups to gain more market shares.
These are tactfull strategies and Iam not surprised to see simmilar companies surviving in Malawi. That’s business!!!
I don’t know much about these, i don’t think i even need them, Look at the dry spell Malawi is currently facing,tell me about the coming of something which directly affects the lives of local masses in the rural areas which doesn’t even know the use of your so called lubricants. By the way,do they sell Paraffin also? if not,i better waste my time, reminding my Ngwazi that this is the right time to start distributing the much more maize he says he is keeping in our silos, because this year,expect no cob from most of our gardens. to hell with the engen whatever,what are all these oils we have for? rubbish.
This is positve news, kwaife amagalimoto. Osauka kaya, bayendanibe!!!
I have been making semilar Chemicals in Mzuzu on a small scale.The is no Market in Mzuzu may be in Lilongwe.I wonder if Government is going to protect us from these big companies.
