Shell starts construction of Tuas lubricant, grease plant
Plant will expand and modernise firm's local operations to cater to Australasia, M-E markets
[SINGAPORE] Shell Eastern Petroleum has driven in the first piles for its new lube oil blending and grease manufacturing plant in Tuas - a project integral to the adjacent Singapore Lube Park (SLP) being built there.
Announcing the construction start yesterday, Dennis Cheong, Shell Lubricants Supply Chain's global vice-president, said the investment demonstrates Shell's continued confidence in Singapore which will be a strategic hub for the group's lubricant operations.
It is an important project for Shell which wants to modernise and expand its current operations here - namely its Woodlands lubricant and grease plant which is 50 years old - to enable the group to cater to growing markets in Australasia and the Middle East.
