1.0 Executive Summary

1.1 Business Overview

PrimeSeal Rubber Industries Limited is a proposed medium-scale rubber products and industrial seal manufacturing company to be located at Sagamu Industrial Estate, Ogun State, Nigeria. The company will specialize in the production of high-quality rubber seals, O-rings, gaskets, bushings, hoses, and vibration-dampening components used in automobiles, oil and gas pipelines, manufacturing machinery, water systems, and power generation facilities.

The business aims to fill the critical gap in Nigeria’s industrial supply chain — reducing dependence on imported rubber components from China, India, and Europe. The plant will utilize synthetic and natural rubber compounds (sourced locally from rubber plantations in Edo, Delta, and Ogun States) and precision molding technologies to produce components that meet international specifications (ISO 3601, ASTM D2000 standards).

By combining local raw material sourcing with modern compounding and molding technologies, PrimeSeal Rubber Industries will position itself as a strategic supplier to the growing Nigerian manufacturing, energy, and construction sectors.

1.2 Vision and Mission Statements

·       Rubber Hoses and Tubes (for fuel, water, and oil applications)

·       Rubber Sheets and Custom Molded Components

·       Maintenance Services: Custom product design, prototype development, and re-engineering for clients requiring special dimensions or performance properties.

All products will be produced to meet or exceed international technical standards and will serve industries including automotive, oil & gas, construction, marine, power, and food processing.

1.4 Market Opportunity

Nigeria’s industrial sealing and rubber components market is expanding rapidly due to growth in oil & gas, manufacturing, and automotive maintenance sectors.
As of 2024, industry analysts estimate Nigeria’s industrial rubber market at ₦450 billion annually, with over 65% of products imported mainly from China, India, and Turkey.

Local manufacturers face high maintenance costs and downtime due to substandard imports and long lead times. PrimeSeal’s localized production model offers:

·       Faster delivery and local customization,

·       Competitive pricing, and

·       Superior durability tailored to Nigeria’s industrial conditions.

Demand is projected to grow at 8–10% CAGR over the next five years, supported by government industrialization policies, AfCFTA export incentives, and growth in domestic manufacturing hubs.

2.0 Company Description

2.1 Business Name, Location, and Nature of Business

Registered Name: PrimeSeal Rubber Industries Limited
Factory Location: Plot 17, Sagamu Industrial Layout, Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria.
Nature of Business: Manufacturing of industrial rubber components and sealing products.
Business Model: Production and wholesale supply to distributors, industrial clients, and OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers).

The plant’s proximity to the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway ensures efficient logistics to major industrial customers in Lagos, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, and Kano.

2.2 Industry Background

Nigeria’s rubber manufacturing industry dates back to the 1960s, initially driven by tire production. However, over the past two decades, the decline of tire manufacturing has shifted attention to specialized rubber component fabrication — seals, hoses, and gaskets for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) industries.

Currently, over ₦300 billion worth of rubber-based products are imported annually, despite Nigeria’s natural rubber production capacity of over 150,000 metric tons per year.

Industrial growth policies under Nigeria’s National Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP) and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) are boosting domestic manufacturing. The oil & gas, power, and automobile sectors are major consumers of sealing products, while infrastructural development projects have increased demand for durable rubber expansion joints, gaskets, and hoses.

Ogun State, being Nigeria’s leading industrial hub, offers:

·       Reliable road connectivity,

·       Access to seaports (Lagos),

·       Industrial incentives, and

·       Availability of skilled labor and electricity.

This makes it a prime location for rubber-based manufacturing.

2.3 Company Ownership and Legal Structure

PrimeSeal Rubber Industries Limited will operate as a Limited Liability Company under the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA), 2020.
The shareholding distribution ensures strategic decision-making and investor participation:

·       Local Nigerian investors will hold a controlling interest to qualify for BOI local manufacturing incentives.

·       Technical partners will provide know-how, training, and commissioning support under a 5-year technical collaboration agreement.

The legal framework includes environmental compliance with NESREA, occupational health standards from FMLE, and quality certification through SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria).

2.4 Start-up Summary

2.5 Operational Objectives

·       Commission the factory and achieve production of 5 tons/day within the first year.

·       Establish regional distributor partnerships in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.

·       Develop at least 20 customized sealing product designs by Year 2.

·       Maintain zero non-compliance with environmental and safety standards.

·       Achieve 95% customer satisfaction rate through product reliability.

2.6 Strategic Position

PrimeSeal will strategically position itself as:

·       A cost-efficient, high-quality local substitute for imported seals and rubber parts.

·       A B2B industrial partner to automotive, construction, and oil firms.
