Enoc Lubricants has opened its second blending plant in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) in Dubai.
The largest producer in the UAE has a 20% share in the 1.5 million tonnes total lubrication production in the country. Its new plant will allow the company to raise its production more than 300,000 tonnes per annum.

Enoc Lubricants & Grease Manufacturing Plant (Elomp)'s new 5,000m2 facility will add to its existing Fujairah production and sales.
The UAE has a daytime ban on land transportation so the opening of the new Jafza facility will improve delivery time to Abu Dhabi and Dubai customers.
The total lubricants demand in the Middle East region is 2.6 million tonnes compared to the global annual demand of 37 million tonnes. The UAE exports 1.30 million tonnes.
