Meanwhile, Petronas Lubricants International (PLI) is the global lubricants manufacturing and marketing arm of Petronas, Malaysia’s global energy group. PLI manufactures and markets a full range of automotive and industrial lubricant products in over 100 markets internationally.
Kitti Pattanaleenakul, President of B.Grimm Industrial Businesses, emphasised that “B.Grimm currently provides high-quality energy supplies and industrial solutions to various industrial estates across Thailand. These industrial customers require a substantial volume of lubricants for applications including manufacturing, construction, electricity generation, and more. B.Grimm recognises the opportunity to collaborate with Petronas to offer a comprehensive one-stop solution, covering lubricant supply and related services.”
Khalid Latiff, Regional Managing Director Asia, Petronas Lubricants International commented, “Thailand is a key strategic growth market as we expand our Fluid Technology Solutions offerings that will benefit our customers in the country.”
This strategic collaboration represents an important effort by the two companies to provide the best to the Thailand market for lubricants and industrial solutions, add the companies.
