Shell Opens New Lubricants Blending Plant In China

Published: 27-Nov-2009

Shell Lubricants has started a new lubricants complex in Asia to meet growing demand in China. The company said that with a production capacity of 50 million gallons a year, and the potential for a phased development to 100 million gallons a year, the complex could become one of its top three lubricants blending plants in volume terms.

In a further development, Shell has also made a new investment in a technical facility at the complex. This will offer a range of technical services, including a quality control laboratory to provide key customers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive industry with technical research, marketing and training services related to their lubricants applications.

Located in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, the blending plant will be Shell's sixth in China and will produce consumer, transport, industrial and marine lubricants, targeted at the Chinese market.

David Pirret, executive vice president for Shell Lubricants, said: "The investment in a lubricants blending plant in Zhuhai is part of Shell's strategy of selective Downstream growth and allows us to support demand from local and international customers based in China, which is the world's fastest growing lubricants market. Once the technical facility at Zhuhai is completed, our customers in China will have the opportunity to experience our leading lubricants technology capability firsthand."

Lim Kuang, executive chairman of Shell in China, said: "This is another milestone in Shell's business development in China and the latest evidence of our commitment to China and Guangdong. We will continue to look for key growth opportunities to contribute to China's fast growing economy by providing high quality energy products and solutions."
