Our story

Founded 2020 by Collin Kaitare

EMPORT was founded in 2020 and has grown into a trusted supplier within Uganda and the wider East African region. With a strong focus on the Oil and Gas sector, the company specializes in the supply of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), heavy equipment, drilling chemicals, and petroleum products supporting both upstream and downstream operations.

Our Founder and CEO, Collin Kaitare, was inspired by the emerging opportunities in Uganda's oil and gas industry and the increasing demand for high-quality, reliable products. This vision has shaped EMPORT's strategic direction and sector specialization.

At EMPORT, our goal is to build a trusted name in procurement and supply by consistently delivering high-quality products and services tailored to industry needs.
