In August 2017, the first Castrol product officially produced in Nigeria – Castrol GTX Essential – came off the production line at Eterna’s Sagamu blending plant. This new Castrol GTX variant was developed in response to specific market requirements for Nigeria and is positioned as an affordable brand that meets manufacturer engine specifications.
Mahmud Tukur, Eterna Managing Director, said: “We, at Eterna plc, are extremely proud to be the exclusive and authorized distributor of Castrol Lubricants. A key milestone is the production of Castrol GTX Essential at our plant. This completes the robust engine lubricant portfolio suitable for use across Nigeria’s vast range of cars both old and new, and to suit our variable fuel and road conditions.”
Eterna’s official market entry for Castrol will commence with a launch on Friday, 6 October 2017. The marketing team have started hosting a series of mechanic roadshows targeted at local mechanics and designed to familiarize them with the range of Castrol products. Additionally, Eterna service stations and Castrol-branded kiosks will be instrumental in reinforcing the partnership.
Eterna PLC is the exclusive and authorized distributor of Castrol automotive and marine lubricants in Nigeria. A wide range of lubricants are available through the company, with Eterna currently licensed to manufacture and blend certain Castrol Lubricants at its Blending Plant located at Sagamu, Ogun State.
