ExxonMobil has signed a new distributor agreement that will extend the availability of ExxonMobils Group I base stocks for final lubricant blenders in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and surrounding Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
ExxonMobil Basestocks named Sharjah National Lube Oil Co. (Sharlu) as an official distributor of ExxonMobil Group I CORETM base stocks.
Due to the rapid industrialization in the UAE and surrounding GCC countries, finished lubricant manufacturers are capitalizing on end-user demands for their products; consequently, formulators are seeking greater access to base stocks, said Julie Vanderborght, Basestock and Specialties Sales Manager for ExxonMobil Fuels & Lubricants in Europe, Africa and Middle East. By adding Sharlu to our network of licensed distributors, we are expanding the reach and supply of our consistent quality Group I base stocks for lube producers in the region.
Incorporated under the laws of the UAE, Sharjah National Lube Oil Co. Ltd, a private limited liability company based in Sharjah, UAE, near Dubai, owns and operates a lube blending plant in the Emirate of Sharjah, UAE. Sharlu has been in the business of manufacture and marketing of lubricants for the past 35 years, being the first independent lubricant manufacturer in the region.
