Afton Chemical ready to deliver gasoline performance additives quicker
Afton Chemical Corporation has completed its phase three expansion to add gasoline performance additives (GPA) blending capabilities at its Singapore chemical additive manufacturing facility.
It is the first GPA blending unit in Asia Pacific by Afton and complements the global network of blending and terminal operations in the Americas and Europe. The unit and its capabilities will provide the additional infrastructure required to support the company’s long-term global growth plans and meet the increasing demands for GPA in the region.
“The GPA new blending unit is now fully operational, and we completed our first commercial fulfillment to a key customer. We have now connected our manufacturing and blending capacities globally, supporting regional and global business continuity. It will also provide security of supply and shorter lead times for our customers, said Kevin Keller, VP, Global Supply, Afton Chemical Corporation. “This is critical during this period where global supply chains are so disrupted and is testament to our ongoing investment strategy around enhanced supply chain solutions.”
“We are committed to developing cost-effective and differentiated GPA solutions ‘Made For’ the region. This addition to our supply network ensures that the total solution combining “Made For” and “Made In” will help provide our customers with a competitive edge in their markets,” said Sean Spencer, Vice President and Managing Director of Afton Chemical Asia.
Afton’s gasoline performance additive technology provides extended protection for both gasoline direct injection and port fuel injection systems used in internal combustion and hybrid engine platforms.
