Southern Africa — Est. 2011
Offering solutions to fuel related management and supply issues across six provinces.
Who We Are
La Mer Petroleum was established in 2011 to fill the need for low-sulphur diesel when South Africa was mainly using 500ppm. Initially the core business was the upstream market — importing of vessels and selling to wholesalers that distributed to downstream end users.
Through the years much has changed and we are now a well-known name in the industry, offering services across the whole supply chain in six provinces.
Fuel Supply
Engen has consistently been our preferred fuel supplier throughout the years in South Africa, providing all grades of fuel and ensuring a reliable, consistent supply chain even during the most challenging times in the industry.
Lubricants
While our primary focus has always been on fuel, we firmly believed we should only enter the lubricants market if we could deliver the same level of quality our customers expect. When we encountered Motul, we saw a company that shared our unwavering commitment to excellence.
Motul embodies the same dedication to delivering exceptional products — refusing to compromise on any aspect. Together we serve the automotive, heavy duty and industrial markets.
Engineering limitations started to fade when Motul began its first enterprise in 1853. Seizing the momentum of the Industrial Revolution, Motul focused on innovation excellence — meticulously envisioning automotive growth and harnessing knowledge at every step of the industrial process.
1966 was a hallmark year: the creation of Century 2100, the inaugural semi-synthetic oil. Inspired by 300 competition victories, the 300V product was born in 1971 — the very first fully synthetic oil on the worldwide market.

Community & Industry
We have partnered with Taxi Associations throughout South Africa to offer supply through a pilot project with NERSA. This approval enables La Mer Petroleum to construct depots for the association, empower the community and provide new job opportunities.
Fuel and fuel management is one of the largest monthly expenses in the transport industry. We help identify key fill-up points and work with transporters' clients — mines, exporters and others — to create a working model that offers ongoing supply and circumvents cashflow issues.
