About Us

FIRSTGATE

25+ Years Of Undefeated Success

2001 marked a turning point in our work. New environmental requirements and stricter regulations demanded innovation. Together with leading industrial partners, we developed D-LIMO, a system that effectively tackles odours at their source using OIL-WATER technology.

Since then, we have deliberately chosen to focus on one solution rather than a broad product range, continuously refining and delivering it across our region.

Who We Are

FirstGate is a company registered under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Our goal is to help rid contemporary society of offensive and toxic odours that not only pollute the environment but also pose significant health challenges to our communities, particularly in Nigeria. We achieve this through the use of organic, eco-friendly materials rather than traditional chemical-based solutions.

Our track record of delivering targeted results and operational efficiency is demonstrated by our work with various companies, hotels, and commercial establishments, including Transcorp Hilton Hotel and Lagos Continental and Abuja Continental Hotels.

Our Philosophy & Approach

The philosophy behind plant-based odour control is to provide a safe, sustainable, and effective alternative to traditional chemical-based methods. By using natural, biodegradable formulations, we aim to neutralize odours at their source while minimizing environmental impact.

We help communities and businesses reduce industrial odour nuisance through solutions that are sustainable, measurable, and effective, without compromising operational processes.
