In June 2016, Total SA acquired the assets and liabilities of Gapco Limited, a petroleum products company that was operating in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.[5] Following that transaction, Total M&S Uganda acquired 37 new fuel service stations, bringing the total number of fuel stations it operates in the country to 162, the highest owned by any fuel marketing and distribution company in the country.[1]

Partnership

In September 2016, Total M&S Uganda signed a partnership agreement with Good African Coffee (GAC), a Ugandan coffee processing company, where GAC will exclusively sell instant, roast, and ground coffee at Total Uganda's 125 service stations countrywide. GAC buys raw coffee from least 14,000 farmers, which it markets locally and in two British supermarket chains, Sainsbury's and Waitrose.[6]
