Founded in 1952, SOGEDI is the oldest and largest company producing and distributing industrial gas in the Republic of Guinea. Supported by Guinea’s growth prospects, especially in the bauxite and iron mining industries, SOGEDI should consolidate its position and rapidly emerge as a regional player. The takeover by Elton Oil International, a leading petroleum products distributor in West Africa, will support SOGEDI’s growth while maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability.
Enexus has advised the sole shareholder of SOGEDI in its sale to Elton Oil International. Through a well-structured sell-side M&A process, the transaction ensured a seamless ownership transition while preserving operational standards.
