Total inaugurates first lube blending plant in Saudi Arabia

After six years of successful operations in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Total Lubricants Co. (SATLUB) has inaugurated its own state-of-the-art blending plant in the Industrial Valley in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), located 120 km north of Jeddah.
The 65,000 square meter facility will produce automotive and industrial lubricants that meet Total’s stringent global quality tests. Equipped with a fully automated blending system and ultra modern filling machines, the plant will have an annual production capacity of 25,000 metric tons in a single shift.
“This is a major step towards improving the company’s efficiency so that we can be the first choice in the Saudi market. With the establishment of this plant, the company aims to enhance its opportunities for growth in Saudi Arabia. The decision to establish this plant was based on a thorough study of the growing lubricants market in KSA, which is propelled by one of the fastest-growing and most stable economies in the world,” said Momar Nguer, senior vice president of Africa/Middle East, Total Marketing & Services, on the occasion of the inauguration.
