Thriving Through 60 Years of Existence
History
Founded in 1963, TIPER began as a petroleum refining company through a joint venture between the Government of Tanzania and AGIP (now Eni), with an annual refining capacity of 600,000 tonnes.
In 1999, TIPER transitioned into a petroleum storage company following ORYX Energies’ acquisition of AGIP’s shares. Over the years, its storage capacity expanded from 100,000m³ to 313,000m³, making it the largest storage facility in Tanzania.
Today, TIPER serves as a key hub for fuel distribution, supplying the domestic market, exporting to neighboring countries, and facilitating re-exports by sea. In 2021, TIPER further enhanced its services by introducing truck loading operations, achieving a daily throughput of over 5,000m³.
