TOL Gases produces and distributes industrial gases, medical gases, and related accessories in Tanzania, and its shares trade on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange.
The proceeds are meant to expand its production capacity, as the company’s carbon dioxide output of 4.8 tonnes per hour falls short of demand, particularly during the peak season from September to February.
It has received inquiries from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the raise forms part of its 2025 to 2029 growth strategy.
The company is pursuing a project to double its oxygen production capacity, with output expected to begin around October or November 2026.
