ExxonMobil Basestocks is enhancing its service to customers across the U.K. with the opening of the company’s new terminal in Dagenham, England. Lubricant formulators in the U.K. have expanded access to ExxonMobil’s Group I, Group II and Group II+ products.
ExxonMobil Basestocks is expanding its service to better meet customer demand for Group I, Group II and Group II+ products by opening a new supply terminal in Dagenham, U.K.
Through a long-term strategic storage tank rental agreement with Stolthaven Dagenham Ltd., ExxonMobil is now able to import and store base stocks from its robust world-wide network of manufacturing facilities, including its Rotterdam, Netherlands refinery, the first in Europe to produce Group II/II+ products on a global scale.
“Coupled with our Rotterdam refinery, the new Dagenham distribution center will cover the majority of our customers’ lubricant manufacturing needs in the U.K.,” said Nick Harris, ExxonMobil Basestocks EAME Sales Manager and Project Manager for the new terminal. “The facility will enable a more direct supply chain, reduced lead time and simplified customs clearance for imported molecules, ultimately reducing complexity across the entire import process for lubricant formulators,” he added.
Located just 15 miles outside of London, the Dagenham terminal is ExxonMobil Basestocks’ new distribution center serving the U.K. The facility brings the number of distribution points in Europe to eight and is the company’s second facility in the U.K.
“We continue to expand our network of supply terminals in order to meet customers’ needs and exceed their expectations, giving them the peace of mind they need to grow their lubricants businesses,” Harris explained.
