ore than 80 years of tradition and lineage has transcended into a more recent six years of industry dominance in Zimbabwe, as Zuva Petroleum looks to capitalise on its position as one of the continent’s leading integrated energy companies.

Incorporated initially in 1969 under the trading name, BP & Shell, the rich petroleum heritage that comes attached with names of such repute has set the tone for the evolution that has occurred in the decades following, and following a rebranding in 20151 - as a result of both brands leaving the Zimbabwean market - an era for Zuva was ushered in to boost the introduction of local participation in the petroleum industry.

“Our range includes Company’s Chief Operating Officer unleaded petrol, (COO), Zwelithini diesel, Diesel 50, paraffin, avgas, jet Mlotshwa.

“Nothing A1, lubricants, HFO (heavy fuel oil) because the same asset and human and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas),” capital that were a driving force to the Mlotshwa adds.

BP & Shell brands are “Zuva has the widest coverage of all still at the Company’s Zwelithini Mlotshwa, COO petroleum companies in disposal through its senior staff members and retail the country. We are represented in every major town and city dealer network. And yet everything, across all our product lines and as local participation in the industry has brought more focus to the we have 10 main fuel terminals, eight LPG terminals, 35 LPG retail contribution of the petroleum sector installations, seven aviation airfields, to the Zimbabwean market.”

Now 51 percent owned by local 72 owned service stations, and the biggest lubricants blending plant in stakeholders and 49 percent owned by a leading international commodity Zimbabwe.” trading enterprise, the expansion Boasting such saturation comes with its challenges of course, but and diversification that has taken with infrastructural progression a place since 2011 has been extensive key element of Zuva’s continuous to the point where its three business units comprise the widest range improvement strategy, the scene is of petroleum products in the now set for the Company to not only country; ensuring a portfolio refine its domestic offering further, that can cater for all but to also replicate its success on a specific needs in a broader international scale.

“Zuva’s main focus in the next three years is to enter the African region and is currently working on various entry strategies with key partners in the region,” Mlotshwa affirms.

F

uel Proof Ltd was formed in 2000 by business partners Andrew Hargreaves and Roger Pilkington.

The Company began by hiring out fuel tanks to companies across the UK, and quickly expanded its fleet to meet the growing demand for safe, compliant fuel storage.

Since its inception, the Company has established itself as a leading global manufacturer of fuel storage equipment, with a client base spanning every continent including many of the world’s largest companies, across a vast range of industries; including construction, quarrying and mining, power generation, haulage and agriculture.

The product range covers storage capacities from 250 to 60,000 litres, with units available in static, highway and site tow, bulk and containerised configuration, for use with diesel, aviation fuel, petrol, waste oil and water. Each product is available with a choice of dispensing equipment and optional features to suit each customer’s own requirements.

Working with a very diverse range of customers has been a key driving force behind the rapid growth and

development of the Company’s product range, particularly given how demanding many of these industries and environments are, as Company Director, Andrew Hargreaves explains: “Each industry we work with places its own unique demands on our equipment, and the window of conditions and environments the products have to operate in is very wide. From temperatures approaching -90°C during an expedition across Antarctica, to the other extreme in regions such as Africa and the Middle East, our products need to be up to the job to keep machines refuelled and projects on time. You couldn’t have a better proving ground for your products. We’ve gained a huge amount of knowledge and experience from all the projects we’ve been involved with, and this gets fed in to the constant development of the range.

“A recent example of this is our range of containerised diesel and aviation fuel tanks. These tanks feature an integrally bunded (double skinned) cylindrical tank fitted inside a standard shipping container, which makes them ideal for export. In recent months we have shipped two of these to a customer in Botswana, one unit to an aviation company in Abu Dhabi, and have just finished building a tank for Zuva

Petroleum in Zimbabwe. These units have become very popular for overseas customers, as they require minimal installation or civils work meaning once they are delivered, all that is required is a power supply and they are ready for action.”

Another example of rapid product development driven by demanding industries is Fuel Proof’s range of bulk aviation tanks, which have evolved significantly since the range was launched in 2006. Company Director, Roger Pilkington explains: “The aviation industry is the most demanding of all the industries we supply to; it’s a very tough proving ground for any manufacturer. Areas such as reliability and fuel quality are absolutely critical, so every aspect of the equipment has to be optimised and tested rigorously; there can be no weaknesses. Supplying to the aviation industry has been a key driving force behind our product development in recent years, and the great thing for us is that we can pass on many of the innovations and improvements as they are relevant for all the industries we’re involved in.

“For example, all aviation fuel tanks are sloping, creating a sump low point allowing all water and condensation to

be easily removed. This has been carried over to our high capacity diesel tanks, ensuring cleaner, dryer fuel, reducing bacterial growth and minimising the risk of damage to vehicles and machinery.

The unique overfill prevention system increases safety and minimises the risk of spillage when refuelling. Some of the fuel dispensing equipment we use on the aviation tanks is also carried over, which means better reliability and usability and an increase in efficiency.”

By taking the complete production process in-house, from design all the way through to delivery, the company have full control over the manufacturing operation; helping to maximise efficiency and ensure the highest standards of quality of workmanship.

In addition, the Company has invested heavily in machinery and facilities at its UK base, including the latest 3D design systems which allow models to be load tested and analysed before production even begins. This software is fully integrated with state-of-the-art machinery in the factory, including a laser cutting machine, press brake, tube bending machine and robotic ‘column and boom’ welding system.

Once fabricated, units are pressure and water tested, and then sent to be ‘shot

blasted’ to prepare the surface prior to painting. This process helps the paint form a bond with the tank surface, increasing longevity and durability of the 2-pack coating used on all the products.

Tanks are painted in a spray booth which incorporates an oven to ‘bake’ the paint to a super tough, resilient finish.

The final assembly stage involves the fitting of fuel dispensing equipment, including pumps, filtration equipment, hose and reels, and fuel metering equipment. This equipment will differ depending on each customer’s requirements; ranging from smaller units with a simple hand operated pump setup, up to more complex tanks with high flow mains powered dispensing systems, advanced filtration, and fuel management systems which provide detailed monitoring of driver and fleet fuel usage. Once the dispensing equipment is fitted, tanks will go through a rigorous testing process to ensure everything is working correctly, before being delivered to the customer.

Leading supplier

The belief that Zuva can replicate its model outside of Zimbabwe derives from a flexibility and customisability that exists within the business, setting it apart from the majority of competitors.

The three business units within the Company ensure that industry trends can be negotiated and that sector slowdowns can be overcome with other strands of the organisation stepping in to take some of the slack.

First and foremost across the Zuva offering is its retail subsidiary which accounts for almost two-thirds of the Company’s volumes and profits.

Mlotshwa explains: “Zuva operates in excess of 100 service stations in the country, owning 72 of them and leasing the balance through independent retailers.

“Through our retail network we employ 1,500 employees and this number continues to grow with additional service station acquisitions.

Our retail sites offer a one-stop shopping experience including fuel forecourts, a convenience shop called Presto , LPG dispensing facilities , truck washes and - in selected sites - quick service restaurants.”

On a business-to-business (B2B) level, the commercial sector accounts for a further 30 percent of the Group,

again making Zuva the leading provider of petroleum products to a growing number of industries.

At present, mining, agriculture, telecoms, transport and energy domains all benefit from the industrial expertise that Zuva brings to Zimbabwe, and the Company has subsequently repaid that faith via vast investments into enhanced sector support; introducing innovative fuel and lubricating storage and dispensing equipment to improve the offering further.

The last, but by no means least, addition to the remit hones in on the aviation industry, catering for the final five percent of Zuva’s unparalleled portfolio.

“Zuva has the widest aviation terminal coverage in the country,” Mlotswha notes. “With seven aviation terminals we are the leading supplier of aviation fuel in the country and provide aviation fuelling facilities to leading African airlines that land in Zimbabwe.

“All of the above business units are supported by an integrated distribution system that includes 10 main fuel terminals, the largest LPG terminal in the country, and a delivery fleet of more than 30 delivery vehicles delivering aviation, LPG and main fuels (unleaded petrol and diesel).”

Products and services Zuva Fuel Card

On March 11, 2016, Zuva Petroleum launched its new Fuel Card that will revolutionise the energy industry.

“We value the security and peace of mind of our customers,” Mlotshwa says. “They have a lot to do in a single day and if we can offer them a sense of relief in one aspect, then we know we have done a good job. Our fuel card offers security, convenience and flexibility and because we are passionate about innovation, we will continue to develop these products based on customer needs.

“We will achieve this by operating responsibly, executing with diligence, leveraging innovative technologies and continuously seeking new

opportunities for sustainable growth. We are excited about our new products and my sincere hope is that everyone will find them beneficial in their day-today lives.”

While this product is new to Zuva, it’s certainly not new to the market. Their competitors have been running these two products for more than three years now and the question is, why has it taken Zuva until now to launch a fuel card?

“We have taken our time to craft these two products to suit the needs of our customers,” Zwelithini answers. “Our unique fuel card offers SMS updates at every purchase, online updates on all transactions, and alerts when your fuel account balance is low, ensuring you never run out of credit unknowingly.

This aspect is especially important to people that are always on the go. .One of the values of Zuva Petroleum is “curiosity” so it’s no wonder that they will introduce a card with a unique offering. To make life convenient for customers, the card is a complete travel companion, which has two wallets; a fuel wallet and an instant bank account wallet.

Fuels and Lubricants

Across the Group’s fuel and lubricants array, LPG, aviation, lubricants, diesel and petrol are all accounted for, meeting the highest of specs in each case, while developing the extent of each strand on a continuous basis to ensure that all requirements are met within the country.

safety, the environment and of course quality are all taken into account throughout, as the quest for cleaner, higher standards of fuel are strived for, for the betterment of both the Company and the industry.

Kozanai Munerenyu, National Key Account Manager says: “At Zuva, we aim to give our customers the best products. We encourage our customers that each time they fuel their car, they get their oil checked to ensure that the quantities are right. The main function of lubricants is to reduce wear, to clean, inhibit corrosion, improve sealing, and cool the engine by carrying heat away from moving parts, which is crucial in increasing longevity of your engine.

Godfrey Madanha, LPG Business Manager continues: “We pride ourselves in the care we take with our cylinders to ensure that the product the customer purchases at the end of the production line is of utmost quality and safety.”

FRAZIER SHIPPING Presto

The final - and perhaps the most dynamic - of Zuva’s products is its state-of-the-art convenience one-stop shop, Presto; delivering “an unmatched fast, fresh and friendly service at competitive prices”, as the business promotes.

“Shopping made magical, PRESTO is used to create anticipation and excitement,” Zuva continues. “This is exactly what we want to bring to our customers; a shopping experience so simple, so convenient, yet absolutely magical!

“The introduction of PRESTO shops in the Zuva network is a reaction to the changing trends and preferences of our clients in a fast-paced and time-starved environment. The introduction of PRESTO follows a successful rebranding exercise of the Zuva forecourts and will complete the transformation of Zuva service stations to service centres.”

The shepherd of logistics Once upon a time, there was a strong and brave shepherd. So strong he was that he fought lions and bears to protect his father’s sheep. So determined he was that he practiced throwing stones in a sling until he could strike the exact place he aimed for. So brave he was that he conquered the great Goliath with a stone from his sling. So great he was that, David was anointed as King.

Guided by this biblical philosophy that has bolstered its work ethic and dynamism during the economic downturn, Zimbabwe-based logistics expert, Frazier Shipping offers attractive customs clearing, freight forwarding, warehousing, logistics and allied services for clients seeking sustainable growth. “Underpinned by superior services, operational efficiency and environmental sustainability for more than 10 years has led to greater and more secure earnings as epitomised in our slogan; ‘shepherding your shipments’,” said the Company’s Board Chairperson, Bridgitah Jameson.

“Serving the agro-processing, mining, health, retail and transport sectors, we are proud to have worked with several big brands in Zimbabwe, among them ZUVA Petroleum who, through our commitment to excellence, have a highly visible, well recognised and respected brand; a feat we continue to defend and protect,” the Company’s COO, Brian Chikuruwo added. “Our unrivalled experience and industry insights enable us to create business volume and value for clients who seek end-to-end supply chain solutions. Our extensive customs clearing network allows for ubiquitous accessibility of products and services to all our client’s customers in Zimbabwe and beyond.”

Transformation projects

Naturally, as one of the country’s largest organisations, Zuva’s national footprint is extensive, and as the saturation continues to grow and its service stations continue to expand, so too do the Company’s marketing campaigns and associated projects; epitomised by its franchising programme.

“The franchising initiative is part of our commitment to develop indigenous entrepreneurs by offering them an opportunity to manage and run service stations in the mainstream of economic activity,” the Company emphasises.

In just the past two years, the transformation that has been seen within the business from the remnants of BP & Shell’s influence has comprised as much as US$20 million being injected into key structural areas of the organisation.

From a rebranding perspective, this has involved an entire overhaul of its

“The project involved transforming not only fixed assets but also mindsets of staff and forecourt attendants,” Mlotshwa notes. “We also had to change the ERP we had used for more than 15 years as it was no longer adequate to meet the growing needs of both the Company and the clientele it serves.”

The next phase witnessed a change within its fleet structure, veering away from an outsourcing methodology to ensure more engaged communication throughout the business via an in-house strategy that has led to numerous benefits across aesthetic, cost and customer service indicators.

– Mr. Bethwell Gumbo, Chief Executive Officer, Zuva Petroleum

its website emphasises. “This implies that, as a Company, we find the right balance between environmental prudence, financial growth and social investment in all the decisions and activities we undertake.”

Leadership position

Driving every new unveiling, every rebranding, every upgrade and every Zuva philosophy is a team of employees whose commitment to perform to the highest standards has been rewarded by a Company who

gives each individual the responsibility and trust to bring their own ideas and innovations to the fore.

To do this, Zuva’s training and progression ethos is of paramount importance, while also addressing areas of corporate social responsibility and by giving priority to local skills where possible.

Mlotshwa says: “A number of inhouse programmes and contracted services are developed to improve the skills of our staff. We make use of advanced performance management

tools in identifying any training needs.”

This culture of internal efficiency continues within the business’ formulation of business partnerships and its supply chain management structure - despite the lack of local resources on this front - as the COO continues: “Cost and quality have become fundamental aspects of the supply chain, especially in a business environment with declining volumes and margins.

“The bulk of our product is sourced internationally as Zimbabwe is not an oil-producing nation and Zuva’s focus is on downstream procurement and then interfacing with the supplier at a local level. Operational efficiencies are easy to determine and manage as they are controlled in-house.”

Combine all of these facets, and Zuva has an organisation which, only after six years, has a structure conducive to achieving its main vision of being an energy brand of choice in Zimbabwe, and a mission of serving customers with excellence and innovation.

And it is this latter notion which the Company hopes to optimise further in the years to come, in order to enjoy the same rapid growth outside of Zimbabwe too.

“Innovation has been the major differentiator at Zuva, scoring a number of firsts in the industry,” Mlotshwa concludes. “The introduction of the Zuva card with two wallets and the fleet management system has set Zuva apart from all other players. This was coupled with being one of the first companies to introduce Diesel 50 in the market.

“Our retail LPG installations are a first of their kind in the market and have made Zuva the leader in the LPG industry.

Our Presto offering incorporating Wi-Fi hot spots, CCTV, delicatessens, and a grocery offering also makes our convenience offer a cut above the rest.

“Our main focus in the next three-five years is regional representation. We have made our mark in Zimbabwe and aim to replicate our leadership position in other regional markets.”
