As we proudly celebrate the 30th anniversary of Bachmus in 2024, it is with a profound sense of gratitude and accomplishment that I reflect on the journey that has brought us to this significant milestone. Founded on the principles of service, expertise, and trust, Bachmus has emerged as a beacon of excellence in the fields of bunkering, lubricants, and diesel supplies.

A Legacy Built on Service, Expertise, and Trust

Since our inception in 1994, we've evolved from a wholesale supplier to a name synonymous with reliability in the marine, transport, and industrial sectors. Our commitment to Service goes beyond timely deliveries; it's about building relationships grounded in trust and reliability. Our extensive depot network across Namibia ensures a quality selection of lubricants and fuel supply solutions, providing our clients with options that align with their specific needs.
Expertise is not just a buzzword for us – it's a constant pursuit of staying at the forefront of industry advancements. Our certified lubrication specialist, Cobus Van der Walt, exemplifies this commitment. His expertise, validated by the Certified Lubrication Specialist (CLS) certification, reflects our dedication to providing exceptional technical knowledge in the lubrication field. Our company’s investment in employee growth, through various training programs, further solidifies our commitment to expertise. This ensures that the entire Bachmus team is equipped to meet the evolving needs of clients in an ever-changing industry landscape.
Trust, for us, is earned through consistent delivery on promises. Be it reliable oil and fuel supply, or on-time and on-site delivery regardless of the distance, we've proven ourselves as a supplier to trust, no matter the challenge.

The vision for 2024

At the heart of Bachmus is a deep commitment to our clients and we recognize that our clients are the lifeblood of our business, and it is our privilege to serve you with the utmost dedication. Your trust has been the bedrock of our success, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering exceptional service and expertise.
As we embark on our 30th year, we are thrilled to announce some exciting initiatives that not only express our gratitude to our valued clients but also demonstrate our commitment to giving back to the community who supported us over the years.

These initiatives will go beyond the traditional notions of customer appreciation, aiming to enhance your experience with Bachmus and strengthen the bonds we've cultivated over the years. We will also be looking at improving our current services with introducing some industry technologies while increasing our reach and expanding our depot network across Namibia. With our main depot in Walvis Bay and other depots strategically positioned across Namibia, we're poised to reach new heights. This expansion is not only about geography but about our commitment to providing unparalleled service, expertise, and trust to a broader clientele.

One of the cornerstones of our vision is the launch of our CSI program. Bachmus has always been deeply committed to making a positive impact on society, and the CSI program is our proactive step towards fulfilling this commitment. Through targeted initiatives, we aim to contribute to community development, and foster a sense of shared responsibility. Stay tuned for announcements in the coming weeks as we unveil the specific projects under the CSI program. We believe that through collective effort, we can create meaningful change and leave a legacy of social responsibility.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Our vision for 2024 is a personal commitment to our values. As we navigate this year of significance, we invite our clients, partners, and the community to join us in shaping a future that is not just about business growth but about making a positive impact. Bachmus is not just a supplier; we are a legacy of excellence, a commitment to values, and a vision for a radiant future.

In closing, I extend my sincere gratitude to our clients, partners, and every individual who has been part of the Bachmus journey. Your trust and support have been instrumental in shaping our success, and we look forward to the next 30 years of continued collaboration, growth, and shared success.
Here's to the legacy of Bachmus and the exciting future that awaits us!
