“This is a milestone for Top Line. For the last 11 years we have been focused on real estate and industrial fuel distribution, and as we expand into the retail fuel sector, we are encouraged and see huge potential in the industry because of Cebu’s robust economy,” Erik Lim, Top Line’s Chairman, President and CEO, said.

Top Line has been engaged in fuel distribution, and has been operating a leased fuel depot to support market demand as well as expanded into retail service stations.

“Our focus is on vertical integration. Since we have been in the industrial fuel industry, we backward integrated to include depot operations to support our growth and also forward integrate by opening up service stations under the Light Fuels brand, our retail arm. Soon, we will be opening Light Fuels Express Stations around Metro Cebu, which will focus on two-wheeled and light-wheeled vehicles, which is very exciting for Cebu.” Mr. Lim added.
