Energy giant Royal Dutch Shell secured third spot in the world’s fastest growing consumer market for lubricating oils today.
Shell bolstered its position in China by acquiring 75% of Tongyi, which sells lubricants for cars, motorcycles, trucks and industrial customers through a network of 2,000 distributors and 90,000 retailers.
The move for China’s leading independent brand will increase Shell’s finished lubricants volume by 8% and give it the third largest share of a market expected to grow by 10% a year at least until 2010.
David Pirret, Shell executive for lubricants, said: ‘Shell is the world’s leading lubricants brand. Growing our business in such an important market is critical to extending that leadership.’
He added the deal would enable Shell to realise savings in the manufacture of lubricants and procurement of base oils, additives and other materials.
Under the joint venture agreement, Tongyi’s brands and product lines will be marketed separately from those of Shell. Tongyi, which started 13 years ago, has three oil lube blending plants in China with a total capacity of around 600,000 tonnes.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
