LRIM is not simply importing products. LRIM is building a supply corridor between international manufacturers and Nigeria's maritime and industrial economy, from first enquiry through to final delivery.
LRIM connects Nigerian maritime and industrial buyers with qualified international manufacturers, OEMs and distributors.
Identifying qualified manufacturers, OEMs and distributors, and verifying products against buyer requirements.
Managing quotation, ordering and procurement on behalf of Nigerian buyers.
Coordinating shipping, logistics and the documentation required to move goods into Nigeria.
Warehousing near the Dangote Jetty and final delivery to the end customer, whether a vessel, refinery or industrial site.
LRIM is developing relationships intended to help international manufacturers and Nigerian buyers transact with confidence.
A significant barrier to trade between international manufacturers and Nigerian maritime buyers is not demand, it is trust and financing. International suppliers often lack visibility into Nigerian buyers' creditworthiness, while Nigerian buyers do not always have access to the trade credit they need to purchase at scale.
LRIM is working to position itself as the party that understands the Nigerian buyer, the underlying commercial transaction, and the goods being supplied, supporting a stronger and better-informed financing proposition for all sides.
