SODIGAZ

What SODIGAZ does

SODIGAZ operates as a butane and LPG gas cylinder distribution brand within Togo-based Zener Group, distributing cylinders in sizes ranging from 3kg (Apefa) to 50kg (Evalu) to households, SMEs, HORECA establishments, industrial users, and fleet/transport operators across Togo. The core technology centers on gas cylinder bottling and retail distribution rather than software or platform infrastructure, supported by the Zener Group's broader energy ecosystem including the OASIS retail station network that spans cities such as Lomé, Kara, Kpalimé, Aného, Tsévié, and Blita. SODIGAZ's product portfolio includes multiple branded variants (Aboe Nomou, Apefa, Abiré, Evalu, Sikavi/La petite butane) alongside the ENORA sub-brand positioned as a next-generation domestic gas offering.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market strategy combining physical OASIS station sales with an e-commerce storefront on the Zener Group website. Revenue is generated primarily through unit-priced cylinder sales denominated in CFA francs, with prices ranging from 10,350 CFA for the 3kg Apefa to 104,500 CFA for the 50kg Evalu (after a 1% discount from 105,200 CFA). Adjacent Zener Group products include the ZenCard payment solution, Zenfamili mobile application, and Zenya digital innovation platform, which extend the company's surface area beyond pure cylinder distribution. SODIGAZ is a private company headquartered in Lomé, Togo, with 11–50 employees and an operating history dating to 2007.
