This recognition was announced at KPC's annual Oil Marketing Company (OMC) awards, which took place during the 2026 Customer Service Week celebrations. Vivo Energy Kenya, which distributes Shell-branded fuels and lubricants across Kenya, processed 1.5 billion liters of fuel during the 2025/26 financial year, representing 15 percent of the total fuel volume transported by oil marketing companies via the national pipeline network. This is the fourth consecutive year Vivo Energy Kenya has received this accolade, underscoring its commitment to utilizing pipeline infrastructure for dependable fuel distribution in Kenya. The KPC OMC Recognition Awards, now in their fourth year, acknowledge oil marketers for effectively utilizing the country's petroleum infrastructure. At the ceremony, Vivo Energy Kenya's Business Support and Planning Manager, Paul Kamau, expressed gratitude to KPC for the recognition and their ongoing partnership. Kamau emphasized that Vivo Energy Kenya's robust and resilient network, driven by continuous innovation, ensures a superior customer experience. He highlighted that efficient infrastructure, quality benchmarks, and innovation remain at the core of the company's strategy to provide reliable fuel supplies and customer-centric services to motorists. Kamau also noted that the recognition will further motivate the company to maintain high standards of service delivery, focusing on quality, convenience, safety, and reliability across its network. KPC's Acting Managing Director, Pius Mwendwa, congratulated Vivo Energy Kenya on its consistent performance and significant use of pipeline infrastructure. He underlined that larger volumes of petroleum products transported through the pipeline network play a crucial role in promoting national economic growth, reinforcing downstream supply chains, and bolstering energy security. The accolade also extended benefits to consumers, with 100 motorists and boda boda operators receiving complimentary fuel top-ups during a special activation at Shell Adams Arcade along Ngong Road in Nairobi. This initiative demonstrated the companies' shared dedication to strengthening the fuel supply chain while delivering value to everyday consumers. KPC and Vivo Energy Kenya affirmed that their partnership will persist in fostering business expansion, infrastructure development, and economic activity by facilitating the efficient transportation of petroleum products to businesses, industries, transport operators, and communities throughout Kenya.",
