About EATL
We are professional.
East Africa Terminals Limited was incorporated in Kenya in October 2011 to develop and operate a state-of-the-art bulk liquid storage facility serving Kenya and the wider Eastern part of Africa — focused on the raw materials behind cooking oils, fats and laundry bar soaps.
Our owner — the HSA Group. The Hayel Saeed Anam (HSA) Group functions as EATL's management entity. HSA is a trusted multi-national with business interests across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, recognised globally for discerning investments, efficient manufacturing systems and a portfolio of highly respected brands.
International affiliation — PIL. EATL is affiliated to Pacific Inter-Link (PIL), incorporated in Kuala Lumpur in 1988 to promote the export of commodities from Malaysia and the Far East into global markets. This gives our customers a direct line to the world's largest palm-oil origin.
Our terminal. The site sits on Kismayu Road, Shimanzi, a short pipeline run from the Kipevu Oil Terminal — Africa's largest offshore oil island — and is licensed as a Customs Bonded Warehouse for in-transit cargo destined for the Northern Corridor.
Our certifications. ISO 9001 quality management, signatory to the global Responsible Care programme, and audited annually by KEBS, KRA, NEMA and the Directorate of Occupational Safety & Health (DOSH).
Our people. Over 80 permanent staff — operations engineers, surveyors, HSE officers and a commercial team that knows the East African market intimately.
