The company
Ten years in South African fuel import. Seven in Mauritius. A physical commodities desk driven by the same imperative on both sides of the business: source and supply at bulk scale, directly, without unnecessary intermediaries.
“Our mission is to inspire and nurture creative storage and supply solutions, with a focus on key strategic markets globally.”
South Africa is the company’s primary base — a pre-eminent position on the continent and part of the BRICS emerging-market footprint. The signature that distinguishes Shyries is consistent across both trades: packaging solutions to the bottlenecks that impede free flow of product into target markets.
The five-year outlook extends storage and supply networks across most of sub-Saharan Africa, building a global portfolio through networks already in place across Europe and Asia.
