Our Story
KamXcel’s story reflects determination, adaptability, and commitment to service, even in the face of instability.

1994—Founding Amid Conflict

The business was established as Star Oil Enterprise in Kono during the Sierra Leone civil war. Despite insecurity and a collapsing market, the company began by importing essential goods from Guinea and selling them locally to support communities where many businesses had closed.

1997-1999—Forced Relocation & Survival

When rebel attacks intensified, the business relocated to Magburaka, only to face renewed destruction in 1998. All assets were looted, forcing the team to flee to Freetown. Operations were halted throughout 1999 as the company focused on protecting employees and securing minimal capital.

2000 - 2002—Rebuilding From Zero

To remain active, the company transported fuel via sea routes from Freetown to towns like Bo and Shenge. Although unsustainable in the long term, these efforts kept the business afloat. After the war officially ended in 2002, operations were relaunched in Magburaka, where gradual recovery began.

2016 - 2020—Expansion Across Sierra Leone

Years of strategic growth led to new branches in Masingbi (2016), Rokel (2019), and additional locations in Bumbuna, Pampana Bridge, Masumbiri, Makon, and other regions across the Northern, Eastern, and Western provinces.

2020—National Recognition

KamXcel was ranked 3rd nationwide by National Petroleum (NP), one of the country’s largest petroleum importers, a major milestone reflecting operational discipline and market trust.
