Shell Lubricants signs agreement with Fiat Chrysler in Egypt; PT Pertamina Lubricants announces market entry

Shell Lubricants Egypt has signed a partnership agreement with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles-Egypt (FCA) to supply lubricants for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram at FCA’s after-sales service centres. Saher Hashim, managing director of Shell, said Shell’s strategic partnership as the only supplier of engine oils to FCA’s Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram brands is in line with the global agreement between the two companies.

“Shell is proud to offer an advanced technology that ensures a longer life for various engines and suits different environments,” said Hashim.

The partnership deal was signed during a press conference held by Shell-Egypt, on the sidelines of the 24th session of Cairo’s international car show, 2017 Automech Formula.

Francesco Monaco, CEO of FCA-Egypt, said FCA’s partnership with Shell is in line with the company’s constant efforts to provide the best service to its customers.

In related news, PT Pertamina Lubricants announced its market entry in Egypt. PT Pertamina Lubricants’ Manager of Grease and Specialty Products, Eko Budiarso, and Surabaya Retail Sales Area Manager V, Wahyudi Kurniawan, have signed an agreement with Egypt’s Ashrafco for the sale of the Indonesian state-owned oil and gas company’s lubricant products.

“Pertamina’s lubricant sales is a trial order of one 20 feet container with a value of USD56,695 or worth INDR737 million,” said Budiarso.

President Director of Ashrafco Khaleed Hammad said the agreement was a good start for Ashrafco’s relationship with PT Pertamina Lubricants.

“I believe that Pertamina’s high-quality lubricant production can compete with similar products in the Egyptian market,” Hammad said.

In June 2017, a delegation from PT Pertamina Lubricants led by Sales & Marketing Director Andria Nusa visited Egyp to explore market opportunities.
