Roy Transmotors: Transportation of Perishables, Petroleum Products, Hazardous Cargo, Low Loaders and Earth Moving Equipment
- Published: January 02, 2020
Roy Transmotors Ltd is a logistics provider specialist in Kenya and the region, with its core expertise being the transportation of bulk petroleum products, containerized cargo, perishable goods and hazardous products. The company was incorporated in 1977 and has now become a leading actor within the transport sector, partnering with internationally recognised organizations and brands such as Chevron, Shell, Total Kenya, Total Uganda, Kobil and Unilver, among others.
Mukhtar Omar, Executive Chairman of Roy Transmotors Ltd, mentions some of the services provided by the trucking company, such as the transportation of perishables, petroleum products, containerized cargo and hazardous products, as well as containers in transit, low loaders and earth moving equipment, not only in Kenya, but thoughout the whole East and Central African region.
"We specialize in many areas where service is difficult to find in this part of the world. I do perishables. I have done milk for Brookside for over 25 years. We have grown with them to the level that they are today. We have improved and now we are masters in this business. We have been in the petroleum sector for about 30 years now. This includes LPG, AGO, kerosene, lubricants, lubricants in pack form, LPG delivered in cylinders. We also work for Unilever where we do hazardous cargo like caustic soda. We do CPO (crude palm oil) for those industries that produce cooking oil. We do containers in transit. We do low loaders. We also have earth moving equipment. The area of our coverage is very wide. It would be difficult to find another company that offers all these services in one place. We have grown as the industry has grown. In the past 20 years, petroleum companies had owned collection from the depots which was not safe. With time, the oil companies have demanded for them to achieve world class standards. We have complied with all these demands including investment, training, and improvement in our quality of equipment. That is why they are very comfortable working with us because we are ready to move to the new development. We have also won Best Total Transporters Award in Africa which was presented to us by a Total Paris representative at a function. We cover the East and Central African region. We work in Uganda where we also have Roy Transmotors Uganda Ltd. We transport milk from northern and western Uganda to the dairy in Kampala. We are not only expecting to grow locally, but also regionally to meet our clients’ demand. Some of our clients now want to go to Kigali, so we will also invest there and give them the service they need. As Roy Kenya, we are now covering the eastern DRC. We are contracted to Total Congo. We are doing Kigali, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia for our clients like Unilever and more. The type of service delivery that we are developing now as far as the client needs are concerned is of the highest level. In the next three years, I expect to reach an even higher level. I have a young and energetic team in place. We have developed a new requirement to deliver products to clients within the region. We are also developing warehouses which will be complete in the next year and a half. We will offer small storage services to our clients. If a client needs to import a container and store the goods for two to four months, we can give that short-term storage similar to what the western world offers. We can give our clients a one stop shop experience", says Mukhtar Omar.
