ALMC receives ‘Manufacturing Innovation of the year 2022’ award

Africa Lubricant Manufacturing Company (ALMC) has been  awarded by the Rwanda Private Sector Federation (PSF) the prestigious certificate of appreciation for ‘Manufacturing Innovation of the year 2022.’ The lubricant blending facility is owned by Rymax Lubricants from The Netherlands and Rwanda-based Societé Petrolé. ALMC was established in 2013. The factory produces a wide range of products  for private label clients, as well as the leading lubricant brand in the Rwandese market: Rymax Lubricants. 

The Private Sector Federation Rwanda is a professional organization, dedicated to promote and  represent the interests of the Rwandan business community. It is an umbrella organization that  groups 10 professional chambers. It was established in December 1999, replacing the former  Rwanda Chamber of Commerce and Industry.  

The Manufacturing Innovation Certificate recognizes that ALMC has implemented innovative and progressive practices in the manufacturing industry,  for the design, development, and delivery of a locally produced, complete product range, suitable  for local businesses.  

The ALMC lubricant blending plant in the Prime Economic Zone in Kigali is home to a “state-of the-art” lubricant blending facility where development, blending and filling of a wide range of top-tier lubricant formulations takes place. Also, the assembly of drums is done at the facility, as well as storage of  base products. Quality testing is done in the modern in-house laboratory on site. In the factory offices,  administration, logistics and marketing is all provided for by a dedicated team of professionals.  

“It is our mission to provide our clients with the best  lubricants, optimized for local circumstances and with the best customer support possible. Our  leading market position in Rwanda is the best proof of our good efforts. The fact that we have  been awarded by PSF for excellence in our manufacturing practices confirms to us that our  investments in quality, education and innovation have paid off. We are very proud of this award,” said ALMC’s General Manager John Okoth.
