The Ghana Cylinder Manufacturing Company (GCMC) Limited was incorporated under the Companies Code ,1963 (Act 179) as a Private Limited Liability company on the 14th of May 1998 to produce Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders of all sizes for the domestic and export markets. Test production began in the same year.

It is 100% owned by the Government of Ghana. The major purpose for its establishment was to promote wider usage of LPG as a substitute for charcoal and firewood and thereby curtail some of our environmental challenges of degradation, deforestation and desertification caused by excessive use of firewood which accounted for over 71% of energy consumed in the domestic sector.
