Reliable Lubricant Supply for Africa’s Growing Industries
With 30+ years of manufacturing expertise and proven supply chains across West, East, and Southern Africa, Feller delivers API-certified lubricants built for the continent’s toughest operating conditions.
Africa’s Lubricants Market: Scale & Opportunity
Africa’s lubricants market is valued at approximately USD 2.65 billion and is projected to reach USD 3.49 billion by 2032, driven by rapid industrialization, expanding vehicle fleets, and major mining and infrastructure projects.
Engine oils remain the dominant product category, with the automotive sector accounting for roughly 55% of total lubricant consumption across the continent. With limited local blending capacity and rising demand for certified, high-performance products, African buyers increasingly seek reliable manufacturing partners who combine quality with cost-competitiveness.
Critical Demands of African Industries
Tough operational conditions demand robust, high-performance lubrication and cooling consumables rated for continuous heavy-load duty.
Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Oils
Mining and construction fleets — operating Caterpillar, Komatsu, XCMG, and SANY equipment — require API CK-4/CI-4 engine oils that withstand extreme dust, heat, and extended service cycles.
Hydraulic Oils for Mining
Africa’s booming mining sector — from Guinea’s Simandou iron ore project to DRC’s copper and cobalt operations — consumes massive volumes of anti-wear hydraulic fluids rated for continuous heavy-load duty.
Automotive Engine Oils
Over 600,000 used vehicles are imported into East and West African markets annually, each requiring regular oil changes and high-quality aftermarket engine lubricants.
Engine Coolants for Extreme Heat
Operating temperatures routinely exceeding 45°C across Sub-Saharan Africa make high-performance antifreeze/coolant a critical maintenance consumable for trucks, generators, and equipment.
Our Expertise in Africa
Feller bridges the gap between premium international standards and localized supply chain execution, delivering certified reliability directly to Africa’s major entry ports and industrial sites.
Proven African Supply Track Record
Feller delivers to mining sites, construction projects, and distribution networks across Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania, and 15+ additional African markets.
Formulated for African Conditions

Major Mining Equipment Distributor
Feller supplied 200,000+ liters of heavy-duty diesel engine oil and hydraulic fluid per quarter for a fleet of 150+ excavators and dump trucks operating at gold and bauxite mining sites.
After upgrading the fleet’s lubrication program to Feller formulations, the client recorded massive improvement in equipment run-time and cost efficiency.
Regional Lubricant Brand Owner
Partnered with Feller under our private-label manufacturing program to launch a customized, locally branded product line across 4 primary categories — engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic oils, and coolants.
Our comprehensive private label service enabled them to secure rapid regional distribution and experience phenomenal growth.
What Our Partners Say
Hear from fleet operation managers and lubricant brand owners maintaining key distribution networks across the African continent.
“We tested Feller’s hydraulic oil on our XCMG excavators at a copper mining site — zero hydraulic failures in 12 months. The product performs on par with major Western brands at a significantly better price point.”
“Feller helped us launch our own lubricant brand from scratch — formulation, packaging design, regulatory documentation, everything. Their team understands the African market better than any Chinese supplier we’ve worked with.”
