Palm Oil Transporters Ltd's
Milestones of Evolution
Established in 1996 as a core transport division under Mehari Auto Garage, our operational footprint quickly matured alongside East Africa’s growing supply chains. Through aggressive fleet acquisition and early investments in dedicated transit infrastructure, the enterprise formalized its market leadership by incorporating as a Limited Liability Company on November 29th, 2005.
Now operating from our central corporate headquarters in Nairobi, Palm Oil Transporters Ltd seamlessly pairs decades of heavy haulage heritage with modern supply chain telemetry, fully aligning our corporate mission with the long-term success of our stakeholders.
