Blending oils at one of Engen’s processing plants in South Africa
For decades the Zambian motoring public has been enjoying the benefits of Engen lubricants supplied by Autoworld. But where are these lubricants produced? And why should we choose Engen? Since our special offer is exclusively Engen lubricants this month, it seems like a good time to learn about the Engen brand.
Based here in Africa, Engen is a group of companies that markets petroleum, lubricants and chemicals, as well as retail convenience stores. Engen lubricants are used in petrol and diesel engines, gearboxes, turbines, hydraulics and compressors, to name a few. Engen has a large number of service stations all over sub-Saharan Africa, and exports its products even wider afield.
The company started manufacturing and selling its products in 1881, and began trading as Engen in 1993. Although the supply and distribution of petroleum products remains its core function, it now has thousands of convenience stores too.
‘With us you are Number One’ is Engen’s brand promise. The company seeks to live up to this by using sophisticated technology and the very best ingredients to develop its range of lubricants for Africa, where industries often operate under extreme conditions. Across Africa, Engen products are sold through its own outlets as well as through distributors such as Autoworld in Zambia. Technology and distribution combine to meet and exceed customer needs and demands.
It’s worth mentioning that Engen’s parent company PETRONAS is well-known for its sponsorship of, and active involvement in, the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. Engen products are essentially Formula One™ tested!
Engen carefully tests all its raw materials, and satisfies the international ISO 9001:2000 production standard.
To sum up, the Engen brand name is a guarantee of product quality. With Engen, you, the customer, are Number One!
