From the humble beginning of sales and marketing of ESSO brand of lubricants as exclusive franchise holder in 1988, Techno Oil made a giant leap by setting up a 10,000 Metric Tons Lubricant Blending and Manufacturing Plant with State–of-the-art Quality Assurance Laboratory for its own brand of ISO-certified lubricants that meet international standards.

The Group is a major supplier of Diesel, Petrol, Gas Oil, Marine Gas Oil, Marine Fuel Oil, Kerosene, Propane, Butane and Fuel Oil in Nigeria.

In line with the Federal Government’s National LPG Expansion Policy Framework aimed deepening the adoption of LPG, Techno Oil Group established 8,400 Metric Tons of LPG Coastal Storage Terminal with capacity to load out 6,000 Metric Tons, an equivalent of 300 Trucks of 20 Metric Tons load daily.
