Australia: Ampol commences production of Mobil lubricants

Ampol will supply the lubricants to retail and business customers through a combination of direct and distributor channels, as agreed on the alliance signed with ExxonMobil last year.

Australia’s Ampol has formally commenced the production and supply of Mobil lubricants at its Queensland lubricant manufacturing facility, according to a company’s press release.

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. B2B customers are expected to receive the new products in the coming months, and retail customers later in the year, announced Brent Merrick, Ampol Executive General Manager, Commercial.

“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,” Merrick said.
