The SPL has a network of over 600 sites, countrywide storage facilities and a broad portfolio of global lubricant brands.
Hyundai Nishat Motors is a joint venture among three leading international businesses: The Nishat Group, the Japan-based Sojitz Corporation and Millat Tractors Ltd. Hyundai Nishat Motors manufactures, markets and distributes Hyundai’s product line in Pakistan.
“Wafi Energy Pakistan Limited and Hyundai Nishat Motors have signed a strategic agreement for the supply of Shell lubricants for Hyundai vehicles in Pakistan,” the Saudi company said in a press release.
