MOSCOW (MRC) -- ExxonMobil Asia Pacific
Pte Ltd has appointed Quality Logistics Services Asia (QLSAsia), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Quality Logistic Services Australia (QLSA), as its base oil
distributor for Malaysia, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.
QLSAsia
plans to offer a range of Group I and Group II products including Core 150, Core
2500, EHC 50, EHC 110 and SN500. As a distributor of ExxonMobil base stocks,
QLSAsia will adhere to the company’s product integrity systems to ensure product
quality and consistency. QLSA has been distributing ExxonMobil base stocks in
Australia since 2011.
"We are excited to establish our relationship with
QLSAsia to reach a wider range of customers in this important market,” said
Vipin Rana, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Base Stocks and Specialties sales
manager.
"The Malaysian market has no local production of API Group I and
limited Group II refining capacity,” said QLSAsia’s general manager Ken Chua.
“With this appointment, QLSAsia will hold inventory of ExxonMobil basestocks in
Malaysia and supply via tank truck to Malaysian blenders. Malaysian blenders
will have access to responsive and transparent customer service, supply chain
and technical capability from the ExxonMobil and QLSA relationship."
As
MRC informed
earlier, ExxonMobil Chemical, is in plans to bring on-stream its
polypropylene (PP) plant following turnaround. The company is likely to
complete maintenance at the plant by end-October, 2020. The plant was shut for
maintenance in mid-September, 2020. Located at Singapore, the PP plant has a
production capacity of 500,000 mt/year.
According to MRC's ScanPlast report,
Russia's overall PP production in Russia increased in January-July 2020 by 24%
year on year to 1,063,700 tonne. ZapSibNeftekhim accounted for the main increase
in the output.
ExxonMobil is the largest non-government owned company in
the energy industry and produces about 3% of the world's oil and about 2% of the
world's energy.
