Local oil company, PETRONAS continues to expand its organizational network after successfully opening over 60 PETRONAS-branded petrol stations in Brazil.
This positive development further strengthens the position of the Malaysian brand internationally.
According to the PETRONAS Activity Review 2026-2028 report, this achievement was realized through a strategic partnership with local partner, SIM Distribuidora.
The opening of these stations allows PETRONAS Primax premium fuel products and PETRONAS Syntium lubricant range to be marketed directly to consumers in the South American country.
At the same time, its subsidiary operating in China, PETRONAS Lubricants International (PLI) has launched the PETRONAS New Energy Technical Service Center in Jiaxing.
The launch of the strategic facility demonstrates the company's continued commitment to the rapidly growing Chinese market.
The technical center offers customized technical services for automotive parts suppliers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
The move is being implemented to ensure the delivery of sophisticated solutions that can catalyze sustainable growth, as well as drive regional innovation.
Meanwhile, the downstream sector will focus on expanding in specialty chemicals.
In line with the industry’s shift towards sustainability, PETRONAS Chemicals Group Bhd (PCG) has introduced a new olefins and derivatives product, HL701.
This product is a surfactant with a high Renewable Carbon Index, thus reinforcing the company’s commitment to environmentally friendly solutions.
For the biofuels segment, PETRONAS in collaboration with Enilive and Euglena will develop a biorefinery plant at the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC).
The facility is scheduled to begin operations in the second half of 2028 to produce Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Renewable Diesel (HVO).
