Vivo Energy Extends Beyond Africa, Buys out Total Energies in Jordan
Vivo Energy has expanded beyond Africa for the first time after completing the acquisition of 100 per cent of TotalEnergies Marketing Jordan, marking a significant milestone in the energy distributor’s regional growth strategy.
The transaction gives Vivo Energy ownership of 180 service stations in Jordan alongside the company’s commercial fuels and lubricants business, extending its operations from 29 African markets into the Middle East.
The deal also paves the way for the rollout of the Engen brand in Jordan, where it will gradually replace the TotalEnergies brand across service stations over the coming months.
The acquisition was first announced in November 2025 and has now been completed after securing all regulatory approvals and meeting the required transaction conditions.
Vivo Energy Group chief executive Stan Mittelman described the acquisition as a landmark moment for the company as it ventures beyond its traditional African footprint.
“Vivo Energy and our retail brand Engen are built on African values of customer service and community, which we believe have a real story to tell in Jordan. We look forward to supporting continued growth in the market,” he said.
The move strengthens Vivo Energy’s position as one of Africa’s largest downstream petroleum companies. .
