SSENTEMA, WAKISO — Residents, daily commuters, and commercial motorists along the busy Ssentema corridor are celebrating a massive infrastructure milestone following the grand launch of a state-of-the-art Stabex International service station today.
The highly anticipated launch, executed in close partnership with regional retail chain CB Mart, is set to drastically reshape the local economic landscape. By merging high-volume refueling infrastructure with comprehensive household retail shopping, the facility offers a seamless, premium one-stop hub that eliminates long transit times into neighboring urban centers.
The grand opening ceremony was a vibrant, community-centered affair marked by a formal ribbon-cutting, speech presentations from corporate leadership, a celebratory cake-cutting event, and live demonstrations of the station’s capabilities.

Bringing Premium Standards Closer to the Community
Speaking at the launch, Stabex International officials emphasized that this expansion directly fulfills the company’s long-term mission: bringing premium energy standards and community enrichment closer to rapidly developing suburban zones. The facility features a spacious forecourt layout built to optimize traffic flow, allowing the station to serve customers faster, safer, and more reliably than traditional rural pumps.
Local administrators welcomed the development, noting that the station not only brings essential services closer to residents but also instantly creates viable employment opportunities for youth in the area, ranging from pump technicians to retail cashiers.
The newly operational Ssentema station introduces four key pillars of service to the area:
- High-Performance Fueling: Continuous availability of premium-grade petrol and diesel dispensed through digital, high-accuracy pumps, alongside a full line of specialized lubricants designed to maximize engine longevity.
- Clean Cooking Energy Solutions: A dedicated supply center for Stabex Gas (LPG), facilitating immediate cylinder sales, refills, and safety check services for local families.
- Integrated Retail Shopping: A fully stocked CB Mart convenience outlet built directly onto the station forecourt, allowing consumers to easily buy groceries, fresh snacks, beverages, and daily household essentials while refueling.
- Expert On-Site Support: A dedicated team of professionally trained pump attendants, mechanics, and customer care executives deployed to deliver premium vehicle and hospitality services.

Driving the Clean Cooking Transition
A major highlight of the launch event was the prominent display of Stabex Gas infrastructure, highlighting a concerted push toward environmental sustainability. To celebrate the opening, the station hosted live cook-offs and energy safety demonstrations, showcasing how switching to LPG can help local families save money while keeping their indoor air quality safe. Dozens of brightly colored, freshly stamped yellow cylinders lined the forecourt, ready for distribution to eager households looking to make the switch from charcoal to clean energy.

A Strategic Expansion in East Africa’s Energy Sector
The launch marks another aggressive milestone in Stabex International’s regional growth strategy, further expanding its massive network of over 200 service stations across Uganda and Kenya. By embedding a premium convenience mart like CB Mart into the layout, Stabex is capitalizing on modern petroleum marketing trends that prioritize maximizing driver utility during everyday refuels.
To mark the grand opening, the station team celebrated by fueling up the first vehicles to enter the forecourt, walking drivers through the seamless service experience. Management has officially invited the general public, commercial taxi fleets, and boda-boda riders to stop by the station today, take advantage of ongoing launch services, and experience the new facility firsthand.
