Celebrating over 150 years of lubricant innovation in Malaysia Wednesday, 20 March 2019

SPONSORED CONTENT Since 1866, ExxonMobil has united its efforts around one principle: the right oil, in the right place, at the right time. Throughout its 150-year history, this ethos has helped the organisation achieve world-leading innovations that enhance efficiency and improve productivity for its customers. 

Cut to today, and ExxonMobil continues to build on that legacy of innovation to define future possibilities and shape industries with sustainable, efficient and high-performance solutions (learn more).

Dedication to excellence

One example of this innovation mindset and focus on service is how ExxonMobil helped US company KM Packaging Co. Ltd., a maker of packaging materials, improve its machine efficiency — saving the company time and money.

KM Packaging was having trouble with oil breakdown and sludge buildup in its paper cup forming machines. ExxonMobil engineers investigated the situation and recommended lubricant changes as well as performance monitoring. Since making the lubricant changes, KM Packaging was able to extend the machine’s oil drain interval from six months to a year, resulting in USD$50,000 in savings.

This is just one example in a long history of helping industrial customers around the world lower costs, improve productivity and enhance equipment efficiency to become safer and more profitable organisations.

A key source of ExxonMobil’s ability to deliver these results is its collaboration with the world’s leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). These connections date back to 1904, thanks to the work of its Equipment Builder Group, which works closely with OEMs to understand equipment trends and lubricant requirements, consult on industrial lubrication system design and find applied solutions to complex field lubrication challenges.

History in Malaysia

Beyond individual companies, ExxonMobil has invested heavily in building up local expertise and capabilities in strategic regions such as Southeast Asia, where it has had a presence since the late 1800s.

ExxonMobil has established itself as one of the major crude oil producers and suppliers of natural gas in Malaysia.

It operates under four production sharing contracts with the Malaysian national oil company, PETRONAS, producing about one-fifth of the nation's oil and about half of natural gas supplies to Peninsular Malaysia.

In chemicals, ExxonMobil supplies a range of specialty products to this growing marketplace. The ExxonMobil Business Support Center in Malaysia hosts the company's IT organisation and provides support across the globe. Additionally, the ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Global Support Office provides technical, engineering and application support for ExxonMobil's refineries around the world.

Outside of business operations, ExxonMobil has embedded itself in the community with contributions to local numeracy and literacy initiatives, energy literacy, safety and health programs, and corporate governance.

ExxonMobil’s operations in Malaysia are crucial to the company’s long history of innovation and service, and will continue to contribute to its ongoing growth.
