About Us

Mainbridge was formed in 2017 as a commodities trading group focused on the development of opportunities in the Petroleum, Agriculture and Metals/Mining sectors across sub-Saharan Africa.

Over the course of the past few years, we have enjoyed success in three sectors

Petroleum

Successfully registered with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (“NNPC”) and Nigeria LNG through which some condensate cargoes were executed. Entered into a strategic supply agreement with Daewoo Gas, Pakistan to supply LNG cargoes to their receiving facilities in Gawadar Port.

Maritime Security and Logistics

In the Maritime Security and Logistics sector, Mainbridge Executed an MOU with the Nigerian Navy in 2019 and continues to provide security and logistics solutions to international shipping companies operating in the Gulf of Guinea.

Agro-Allied Sector

In the Agro-allied sector, Mainbridge (through a local subsidiary), entered into a strategic alliance with the Bank of Agriculture, Nigeria and launched an integrated Agri Production Program under the auspices of his Royal Majesty Oba Adesimbo Kiladejo, the Paramount Ruler of the ancient Ondo Kingdom in the South West of Nigeria, to aggregate approximately 10,000 smallholder farmers for the cultivation of cassava, plantain, yam, cocoa, cashew, rice maize and palm oil on Mainbridge-owned 10,000 hectares of arable land in the Ondo township area.

Leveraging on its earlier successes, Mainbridge has evolved its strategy and approach by focusing on investment and finance activities whilst continuing to carry out its transactional activities through portfolio companies that it invests in. With over $500 million in Assets under management, Mainbridge deploys capital and investments through three “pipes” namely, Private Equity, Project & Infrastructure Finance and Commercial Lending through Credit Enhancement/ Treasure Services.

Mainbridge is rooted in Africa, and has an understanding of localised issues, trends and outlook that can be often be opaque / or an operational minefield to other investors in this space. We adopt a systematic approach to our projects that is built on a foundation that encompasses resilience, tenacity and an invaluable network of partners – all underpinned by best practice.

Mainbridge operates from offices in London, Dubai, Amsterdam, Lagos and Abuja.
