Our story
Rooted in Cameroon. Reaching across Central Africa.
LDMK Trading S.A.U. — Logistique et Distribution de Matières K-Energy Trading — was founded to bring discipline, compliance and partner-first commerce to the downstream petroleum market in Cameroon and the CEMAC region.
Our registered office is in Sangmélima, with commercial operations in Douala and a new branch opening in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. We focus on one thing and do it properly: the import and domestic distribution of refined petroleum products — gasoline, gasoil (diesel), Jet A-1, fuel oil, LPG, kerosene, base oils and bitumen.
Every cargo we handle is sourced from vetted counterparties, inspected by independent surveyors, priced against the PLATT’S European Market Scan benchmark, and delivered under strict KYC, AML and sanctions-compliant frameworks — in full alignment with the regulatory framework set by MINEE, CSPH and SCDP.
Our Mission
To ensure a reliable, compliant and transparent supply of refined petroleum products to Cameroon and the CEMAC region — and to empower the progress of every partner, every customer and every community we serve along the way.
Our Vision
To be Central Africa’s most trusted petroleum products trading house — a dependable bridge between international refineries and domestic markets, built on disciplined execution and an unwavering commitment to quality and partnership.
Our values
Four principles. Every cargo.
Integrity
Every deal is governed by strict KYC, sanctions screening and full regulatory compliance with Cameroonian and international frameworks.
Partnership
We invest in long-term relationships with refineries, institutional partners and end-buyers — because reliable trade is a team sport.
Precision
On-spec product, on-time delivery, on-benchmark pricing. We measure what we promise and report it transparently.
Progress
Our name means Empowering Progress — for our customers, for our people and for the Cameroonian economy.
Leadership
A team with deep downstream expertise.
Our directors bring more than seventy combined years of experience across petroleum distribution, logistics, HSEQ, finance, fiscal strategy and large-scale infrastructure — the full toolkit required to serve industrial and institutional buyers in the CEMAC region.
