About UsLubrication Specialists (PTY) Ltd was established in
1998 as a joint venture company between ExxonMobil Corporation and
Manica Group Namibia in order to compliment the re- introduction of
the Mobil Brand into Southern Africa. In January 2005, the
ExxonMobil shareholding was transferred to Engen Petroleum Limited,
in line with the previous co-operation agreement between ExxonMobil
Corporation and Engen within Southern Africa.
Lubrication Specialists has since then emerged as the largest
single supplier of Marine Lubricants in Namibia, servicing the
International Marine industry from the ports of Walvis Bay and
Luderitz, and enjoys a substantial market share in other lubricant
supply markets.
In August 2009, Manica Group Namibia acquired 100% shares in
Lubrication Specialists, which made it a wholly owned company of
Manica. In 2014 Lubrication Specialists signed an Authorised
Distributorship deal with Exxxon Mobil to distribute Mobil products
to the marine, industrial and commercial sectors. In 2016
Lubrication Specialists opened its first branch in Gaborone,
Botswana to provide Exxon Mobil products to the industrial, mining
and commercial vehicle markets.

Social responsibilities and Corporate CitizenshipBeing a wholly
owned subsidiary of the second largest private company listed on
the Namibian Stock Exchange, Lubrication Specialists is very aware
of its responsibilities towards Namibia, its environment and its
people. Since the company’s humble beginning as a Marine Lubes
Distributor with only two employees, it has grown into a
significant job provider within the Namibian economy.
Today Lubrication Specialists directly employs 30 permanent,
skilled and semi-skilled employees. In addition, the company’s five
warehouses and lube distribution centres, country-wide all
contribute to the creation of livelihood in rural areas. With a
current annual turnover of NAD 98m, its overall contribution to the
Namibian economy is quite significant.
Hence, our annual budget includes financial support to a variety
of charities, schools and local sport development through direct
sponsorships as well as through group initiatives of Manica Group
Namibia. Major initiatives include providing baby formula milk to
destitute babies in Walvis Bay monthly, sponsorships and donations
to
educational and health related initiatives, regular
beach-cleanup efforts, equipment sponsorship for Hyena, Vulture,
Dolphin conservation and research projects, bursaries for
previously disadvantaged Namibians and support to the local
charities.
BEE
Lubrication Specialists follows Manica Group Namibia’s
Affirmative Action plan and for the past eight (8) years the
company has been certified compliant to national legislation by the
Employment Equity Commissioner. The company also forms part of the
group’s BEE scorecard, and is monitored on Equity Ownership,
Employment Equity, Skills Development, Preferential Procurement and
Social Responsibility.
As Manica Group Namibia is certified a “Good Contributor” by the
Namibian National Preferential Procurement Organisation,
Lubrication Specialists ensures that it makes use of local
suppliers and service providers as far as possible and where needed
in distributing its lube products.
