Oil Store extends Lubrizol refrigerant oil deal

USA/UK: Refrigeration lubricant manufacturer Lubrizol has extended its distribution deal with UK company Oil Store to include Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

Lubrizol offers a wide range of fluid engineering brands, including CPI industrial refrigeration products, Paratherm heat transfer fluids, and Emkarate RL, Icematic and Solest refrigeration compressor lubricants. Lubrizol also has a wide range of solutions for industrial applications tailored to the needs of local markets. 

Oil Store was founded in 1994 as TrAchem Lubricants, changing its name to Oil Store at the beginning of this year. 

The company has been supplying Lubrizol products in the UK and Europe since 2022, when it was appointed the official distributor for Paratherm heat transfer fluids. It was appointed as official UK distributors for the other Lubrizol products last year. 

In August, Oil Store also acquired longstanding CPI distributor O’Neill & Co Consulting Engineers.

To serve the new markets in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Oil Store says it will be building on existing relationships and appointing strategic partners in each of the new territories.

“This achievement follows an exceptional period of collaboration, and we are excited to continue driving success together,” said Daniel Tait, managing director of Oil Store.
