Hextar Oiltech to distribute Petromin Lubricants in Malaysia
Hextar Oiltech Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Hextar Global Berhad, has been appointed as the exclusive distributor of Petromin lubricants in Malaysia. The agreement was formalised through a signing with Techno Lube LLC, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Petrolube Group.
This strategic partnership strengthens Hextar’s position in the Malaysian automotive and industrial lubricants market, expanding its specialty chemicals division with access to Petromin’s high-performance and environmentally conscious lubricant solutions.
“We are honoured to partner with Techno Lube LLC (Petrolube and Petromin Group). This exclusive agreement marks a major step forward for our lubricant business, expanding our premium product portfolio to deliver top-tier quality to the Malaysian market. We look forward to leveraging our extensive distribution network to expand the market reach of Petromin products in Malaysia,” said Lim Jun Yeong, commercial director of Hextar Oiltech.
Petrolube’s head of International Business, Anns Kahlon, added, “Petrolube Group has a legacy of innovation and excellence in the lubricant sector. Partnering with Hextar Oiltech Sdn Bhd, a trusted leader in the Malaysian market, allows us to strengthen our presence in the region and deliver our world-class products to more customers.”
Distribution is set to begin nationwide, targeting the automotive, industrial and marine sectors. The collaboration is seen as a foundation for deeper cooperation, including local blending of Petromin-branded lubricants in the future.
Hextar Global Berhad’s Group Managing Director, Lee Chooi Keng, said “The signing of this distribution agreement is just the beginning of our cooperation as the foundation for deeper collaboration between Hextar and Petromin and we look forward to be the blending partner for Petromin in the future. This involves setting up blending facilities infrastructure to produce Petromin-branded lubricants locally. Such initiative would enhance efficiency, reduce supply chain costs, and ensure a steady product supply tailored to regional market needs. This strategic approach positions Hextar for sustained growth and leadership in the lubricant industry.”
