Hundreds of Afrigas distributors converged at Enashipai Resort for the 8th Annual Afrigas Distributors Conference, themed “Bigger, Bolder, Better Together.” The event highlighted the company’s unwavering commitment to safety, customer service, and combating illegal refilling practices that endanger Kenya’s LPG industry.
With a legacy of safety and reliability spanning over 70 years, Afrigas has set the standard in Kenya’s LPG sector. This year’s conference served as a strategic platform for knowledge-sharing, excellence recognition, and aligning with Afrigas’ mission to expand clean cooking solutions nationwide.
Unwavering Commitment to Safety
“Afrigas has built a reputation for unmatched safety standards in the LPG sector. Every cylinder meets the highest safety requirements,” said Peter Murungi, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Kenya. He emphasized the company’s dedication to supporting distributors in scaling their businesses and delivering safe, reliable LPG to more Kenyan homes.
Murungi also highlighted the importance of sourcing authentic Afrigas cylinders from verified POS distributors, accompanied by valid receipts, to ensure consumer safety and trust in the brand.
Driving Innovation
Afrigas continues to lead with customer-centric innovations, such as the Supa Jiko product—a cost-effective cooking solution that integrates seamlessly with cooking jikos using a regulator and hose pipe.
“The Supa Jiko cylinder offers the convenience of a 13kg cylinder at the cost of a 6kg one, making LPG more affordable and accessible,” explained Stephen Gikonyo, Head of LPG & Lubes Sales and Marketing. “It’s a practical, time-saving solution for households needing multiple burners while ensuring safe and efficient cooking.”
Consumer Safety & Market Leadership
Afrigas remains focused on efficiency, affordability, and top-tier service delivery. The company has doubled its cylinder supply in the market, achieving double-digit growth and expanding its reach in the informal sector. Nairobi leads in LPG consumption, followed by Mombasa, Eldoret, the eastern region, and Mount Kenya—data that continues to shape Afrigas’ strategic distribution approach.
“Each cylinder comes with clear usage instructions, safety messaging, and a rigorous verification system to protect customers from counterfeit products,” added Gikonyo.
Recognizing Excellence
The conference concluded with a Gala Awards Ceremony, honoring top-performing distributors for their outstanding commitment to safety, growth, and customer satisfaction.
Hosted in various regions, including Eldoret, Kisumu, Nairobi, and Kisii, the Afrigas conference series underscores the company’s national focus and deep-rooted partnerships across Kenya.
The 8th Annual Afrigas Distributors Conference reaffirmed the company’s dedication to empowering distributors, prioritizing safety, and driving business growth—ensuring millions more Kenyan households gain access to safe, high-quality LPG solutions.
