Our Vision is to invest and build partnerships in key growth sectors to support Africa’s growth.

Arch Holdings has grown from a single opportunity into a thriving network of interconnected businesses serving diverse industries across the region. Our journey began in 2009 with a simple but powerful vision — to participate meaningfully in Africa’s key growth sectors. That vision led to the establishment of Sage, a bulk distributing company that played a pivotal role in addressing Ghana’s recurring fuel shortages.

As the business evolved, the Group recognized the importance of operating along the entire energy value chain. This gave rise to Cardinal Petroleum, the petroleum investment arm of the Group. Cardinal invested in and revitalized a number of struggling Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs), turning them into sustainable enterprises and securing a consistent market for Sage’s operations. To further enhance customer experience, Power Fuels was launched in 2012, introducing additivated fuels designed to improve vehicle performance and fuel economy.

With the growth of Bulk Distribution Companies came new industry regulations, including the requirement for a minimum storage capacity of 40,000MT. This development inspired the creation of Quantum Terminals Group in 2012 — the Group’s storage and infrastructure arm — and the subsequent construction of a 55,000MT oil storage and evacuation terminal in Tema.


In 2013, the Group launched a bold 10-year master plan to promote LPG adoption in Ghana, investing over USD 136.7 million in critical LPG infrastructure. This included a 750MT LPG storage and evacuation terminal in Atuabo, which increased national LPG utilization to 28,000MT per month.

 

Continuing this momentum, in 2015 the Group expanded Ghana’s LPG import capacity by constructing a 9km propane-rated pipeline and a 10-inch discharge arm, increasing monthly import potential from 20,000MT to 80,000MT. An additional 8,550MT LPG storage facility was completed in Tema and commissioned in 2020.

Today, Arch Holdings is building several LPG bottling plants to support Ghana’s transition to the Cylinder Recirculation Model (CRM) — a safer, more efficient LPG distribution system. The first of these plants, located in Tema, has the capacity to fill over 51,000 cylinders daily, equipped with advanced tracking and maintenance systems.


From our humble beginnings to our current scale, one thing remains unchanged — our founder’s vision to seize opportunities, create value, and power Africa’s growth. Guided by innovation, integrity, and collaboration, Arch Holdings continues to expand, shaping the future of energy and infrastructure for generations to come.
