Petro-Canada Lubricants assumes global management of Suniso® brand

Petro-Canada Lubricants, a brand under HF Sinclair Corporation, has announced that it will take over the global management, marketing, and distribution of the Suniso® brand, effective September 2024. This strategic move involves assuming control of Suniso’s trademark and technology from Sonneborn, another HF Sinclair brand. 

Suniso, a name synonymous with high-quality refrigeration fluids, has been trusted by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users worldwide for more than 90 years. The brand is known for its ability to provide exceptional stability, maximise service life, and deliver trouble-free performance for refrigerant compressors.

With this new responsibility, Petro-Canada Lubricants plans to extend the distribution network of Suniso products through authorised distributors and strategic partners, significantly enhancing their availability. The product line will include Suniso GS, the industry’s original ‘Grade Standard’ highly-refined mineral refrigeration fluids, and Suniso SL, a full synthetic range designed for modern refrigeration systems.

Matt Joyce, senior vice president of Lubricants & Specialties at HF Sinclair, expressed enthusiasm for continuing the Suniso legacy under Petro-Canada Lubricants. “The Suniso brand has been supplying world-leading refrigeration fluids for more than 90 years and we’re delighted that Petro-Canada Lubricants will be continuing that legacy,” said Joyce. 

“Over that time, Suniso refrigeration fluids have earned the loyalty of customers around the world, thanks to their ability to provide exceptional stability, maximise service life and deliver trouble-free performance for refrigerant compressors.”

In addition to Suniso, Petro-Canada Lubricants will continue to market its complementary line of refrigeration fluids, REFLO™, which is formulated for commercial refrigeration systems.
