The company, EF Holdings Ltd, was established on June 15, 1987 in Manchester, UK, and began operating in the oil industry at the same time with activity centered in Abbasanta, Italy.

From the late 1980s onward, the business expanded through trading relationships and development work across the broader oil and energy market, building connections with international operators and institutions.

The company reports experience with major oil product groups including Eni, Agip, Shell Oil, Chevron, Ashland, Vitol, Stomos and Caltex, alongside work in offshore research and project development.

Operations and relationships extended into The Gambia, Nigeria, Singapore and China, with activity also linked to ECOWAS member states and multiple joint-venture or follow-up initiatives during the period from 1988 through the 1990s.

Over time, EF Holdings Ltd positioned itself as a company focused on long-term international energy relationships, project support and oil-sector business development.
