The cooperation includes supply of oil to Russia and other markets of the brand’s presence, with subsequent expansion to other regions, including China.
Evgeniy Korneev, Executive Director, Lukoil Lubricants (China), said:
- Global and long-term partnership with OEMs is one of the key business priorities of our company in China
- It is extremely valuable for us that SDLG, one of the world's leading manufacturers of construction machinery, trusts the quality and reliability of Lukoil lubricants
In 2020, Lubricants Plant of Lukoil in Kazakhstan shipped the 1st batch of Lukoil industrial and motor oils for passenger and commercial vehicles to the Chinese market.
The volume of the 1st delivery was more than 200 tons of Kazakh-made oils.
The favorable geographical location of the plant allows prompt deliveries of Lukoil oils to China.
