Ampol has formally commenced the production and supply of Mobil lubricants at its Queensland lubricant manufacturing facility.
According to Ampol Executive General Manager Commercial Brent Merrick, the commencement of blending is an important milestone in the company’s conversion to Mobil lubricants.
B2B customers are expected to receive the new products in the coming months, and retail customers later in the year.
“Mobil’s lubricant technology is world-class, innovative and has decades of proven performance,” says Mr Merrick.
“Through our lubricants alliance with ExxonMobil, we are using our scale, Australian expertise, manufacturing capability and strong customer relationships to bring Mobil lubricants to Australian consumers and support our commitment to evolving our lubricants offer to meet changing customer needs.
“I look forward to bringing these products to our customers over the coming months as we complete our conversion to Mobil lubricants.”
ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Executive Director for South Asia Pacific Lubricants Kum Fong Siew says her company has worked closely with Ampol on its Lubricants Facility conversion to Mobil over the last six months.
“Ampol’s robust quality control, testing techniques and adoption of ExxonMobil’s quality management system will ensure customers in the region will continue to receive advanced lubricants every time,” she says.
The commencement of blending follows last year’s announcement that Ampol and ExxonMobil had entered a marketing alliance to blend, distribute and market Mobil lubricants across Australia. Under the agreement, Ampol will supply Mobil lubricants to retail and business customers through a combination of direct and distributor channels.
The manufacturing, distribution and marketing conversion to Mobil lubricants is expected to be finalised by the end of the year.
