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.

Who we are

Two business partners shaking hands

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.
