A pan-African group built around one corridor.
Lubs Co. connects mines, factories and governments in Central Africa to the suppliers and ports that serve them.
Vision and leadership
“At Lubs Co., everything started with a simple but powerful vision: solve the real challenges of trade and logistics in Africa. After more than twenty years of experience in the mining, energy and industrial sectors, I observed the same obstacles: supply disruptions, logistical inefficiencies and a lack of reliable partners. Lubs Co. was born to bring a concrete solution to these problems.”
“Today, we are a multi-sector partner committed to delivering results with integrity, speed and precision. Our mission is not just to supply products, but to create lasting value for our clients and contribute to the economic growth of the continent.”

Who we are
Lubs Co. SARL is an international trading company founded in Kinshasa in September 2025. Its subsidiary, Lubs Co. (Pty) Ltd, runs import and export from South Africa.
We work in Central Africa’s mining basins, mainly Grand-Katanga, and we have close commercial ties with Chinese mining consortiums. Six business lines share one logistics network, so a client can source reagents, fuel, food and equipment from a single partner.
