R.T. Briscoe Nigeria Plc is a publicly quoted diversified holding company in Nigeria with decades of experience in the automobile, industrial air compressor, material handling, industrial equipment, power, and real estate businesses. Founded in 1957, the company later became a wholly owned subsidiary of East Asiatic Company (EAC) Limited of Copenhagen, Denmark in 1961.
The company got listed on the stock exchange in 1974 and adopted a diversified holding structure that includes multiple business units under one umbrella. EAC divested its shareholding in RT Briscoe to Nigerian investors in 2002.
RT Briscoe Nigeria is an authorised distributor of leading global brands like Toyota Motors, Manitou Forklifts, and Elgi Compressors, among others.
The company supports its business lines with extensive logistics services, staging warehousing, and after-sales support. This includes vehicle servicing, technical maintenance, and building lifecycle oversight.
In 2024, RT Briscoe made waves by launching Nigeria’s first “RT Briscoe Savings and Investment Fund”, a money-market vehicle allowing investors to save gradually toward equity ownership in the company—a pioneering capital re-engagement model in the Nigerian market.
Furthermore, embracing sustainable transport trends, the company initiated a CNG/LPG conversion program, proposing the retrofitting of vehicles to run on eco-friendlier fuels, particularly targeting fleet operators due to infrastructure limitations.
