Bougainville’s local fuel reseller and distributor Kute Limted has launched its first-ever international standard automatic pumping station after 20 years of dispensing fuel from drums.
Kute Limited is now the first-ever fuel reseller in North Bougainville to fuel the region since its partnership and establishment in early 1985 as a family business, to reselling of fuel
from drums and now into shipping and supplying.
This year is the start of another chapter for the family, the owner, Michael Boko and his wife Christine since their long-life partnership with the Islands Petroleum (IP).
Their business started from drum reselling when Mr Boko and his wife started buying and reselling fuel and as time went by, they ventured into shipping fuel from Islands Petroleum and later reselling it with the help of Islands Petroleum through their expansion.
Not only that, Kute Limited also has its retail service station in Kimbe, West New Britain province, and continues to expand.
Although Kute Service Station is faced with challenges in terms of inflation, Kute is still here and is consistent in providing this essential service, to supply fuel, petrol, and other
lubricants for the people.
“We must appreciate the service because it is still here and continues to provide service for us,” the Bougainville Business Authority (BBA) president, Jeffrey Magum said. “The world is changing, and we cannot stay here casually, we need to be digitalised, and this sets the example for more businesses to venture into Bougainville.”
“It has been a strong partnership till today and a great project that Islands Petroleum is pleased to support” said IP manager, Suran Chanran.
“The latest development of a large-scale service station in a pristine hometown marks a significant achievement for the family, company and the province.
This service is for the people of Bougainville.”
