Nigerian Hardwood Charcoal

For the past 12 years we have consistently exported over 5,000 tons per year and our infrastructure allows scaling up to handle exports  upto 8,000 tons per year. 

We have 8,000 square metres of factory and warehouse space in Nigeria. Here we store our raw material and have a new conveyor-based manufacturing plant with a electronically controlled sieving machine process to separate and pack different granulations. 

Own our fleet of trucks handle transport of charcoal into our warehouse and collection and delivery of 40ft HC shipping containers. 

Our charcoal is non-sparking, dust-free, burns for a long period of time and has very high calorific heat value. It is perfect for home use and restaurant/catering barbecue grills and also for charcoal ovens (eg. Indian Tandoors).
