LOTOS Oil: Extending The Horizon

LOTOS Group is a European company whose main production plant is located in northern Poland on the Baltic Sea. This is the optimal location in Central Europe. The company deals in oil extraction and processing. LOTOS Oil is a part of LOTOS  Group and  is responsible for the production, distribution and sale of lubricants.

LOTOS Oil is the leader of the Polish lubrication market. It sells approx. 220,000 tons of base and process oils on the world market. It also produces and sells approx. 60,000 tons of lubricants to over 80 countries around the world, apart from Poland, mainly to the EU, the former CIS, Africa and South Asia.

The product portfolio covers most of the Polish market’s demand for industrial oils and lubricants, automotive oils as well as process oils. Our offer includes several hundred products, some of which can be especially useful in the segments of the industry that are numerous and dynamically developing in India. They are primarily oils for the power industry.

Poland has for many years based on its hard coal and lignite power industry, has had numerous blocks with capacities from 200MWe to the most modern block of 1045M.We. Nearly 70% of them are filled with LOTOS oils.

The quality of oils expressed in the approvals of leading turbine manufacturers has been confirmed in many years of the operation of machines with extremely high reliability. For several years, we have developed our oil technologies for steam turbines that can be successfully used in Indian power plants. An oil service dedicated to this industry is an important element complementing the LOTOS Oil offer for the power industry.

The above-mentioned mining is the second important market for the company apart from the power industry. Ambitious plans for coal mining growth in India can be an interesting area for LOTOS. Restrictive mining safety regulations in Poland set high requirements also for the lubricants that LOTOS Oil produces.

Our offer for the tire, rubber and polymer industry that we supply with Rubber Process Oils (RPO) is also optimal. Our clients include producers from the so-called big four of tire and rubber producers and producers of other rubber products. The products are delivered to many European countries as well as the Far East. The development of them was based on the implementation of technology that meets the stringent standards of low carcinogenicity of tire components.

We can partner the dynamically developing Indian automotive market not only in the production of tires but, above all, in oils for truck transport, from large trucks to small passenger cars. In recent years, Poland has been building its position of a transport leader at the junction of the EU, Russia and the Far East countries and has become the market for growing demand for truck oils. LOTOS Oil is taking advantage of this trend by developing and supplying oils with the TURDUS brand with approvals of leading OEMs, and its own production of base oils provides the products with a competitive price-quality relationship.

The railway industry is another segment of LOTOS Oil’s strong presence. We have an offer for the railway industry resulting from the long-term supply of products to the second-largest Polish railways in the EU in terms of freight transport.
