LUKOIL Marine Lubricants opens new branch office in Hong Kong
LUKOIL Marine Lubricants has opened a new branch office in Hong Kong due to an increasing market share in Hong Kong and the greater China area. The official opening ceremony was attended by more than 50 prestigious guests from Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as LUKOIL Marine’s Managing Directors June Manoharan and Jan Thiedeitz, an international Maritime & Offshore marketing consultancy Wake Media Ltd reported.
Hong Kong has long been held as one of the most important and strategically located maritime hubs in the world. Its position on the Far East trade routes means it is in the geographical centre of the fast-developing Asia- Pacific Basin.
Mrs. Manoharan states “With the new office we are taking into account the commercial and economic development of the region and will further strengthen our presence in Asia” and James Lee, Regional Sales Director Greater China at LUKOIL Marine and head of the new office, adds “This way we are even closer to our customers in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan”.
The branch office is located centrally on Hong Kong Island on floor 52/F of Central Plaza, the third tallest tower in the city overlooking Victoria Harbour and ‘The Peak’.
About LUKOIL and LUKOIL Marine Lubricants
