American multinational oil and gas corporation ExxonMobil has signed a new distributor agreement with Zestcor, South Africa’s sales, procurement and supply chain management company, a move that is seen to help in supplying high-quality base stocks in South Africa and across the Sub-Saharan region
Zestcor has a strong business footprint in South Africa’s oil and gas industry as a broad-based black economic empowerment company.
The commercial agreement is expected to expand ExxonMobil’s global presence and provide local customers additional access to base stocks capable of meeting a broad range of blending needs.
“We are committed to providing a reliable supply of high-quality products to our valued customers around the world,” said Julia Ruessmann, EAME basestocks and specialities sales manager at ExxonMobil.
Partnering with Zestcor, ExxonMobil aims to strengthen its position in South Africa, thus meeting the customer’s demand in the region.
Zestcor is equipped to receive bulk ExxonMobil shipments and handle both truck loading and delivery, as well as pipeline transfers, with their strategically placed bulk onshore tank storage facilities at Bidvest Tank Terminals in Island View, Durban.
Nic Dunn, Director at Zestcor, said, “Partnering with a global leader like ExxonMobil, who not only shares these values but promotes them as a pillar of their business operations, makes perfect sense for us. We also believe that South Africa will benefit by having additional local access to high-quality base stocks.”
As a distributor of ExxonMobil base stocks, Zestcor is required to adhere to the company’s product integrity systems to ensure product quality and consistency.
