Brunei, 22th June 2026 — UMW Pennzoil Distributors Sdn. Bhd. (UPD) has expanded its regional foorprint through its first collaboration with Brunei Shell Marketing Company Sdn. Bhd. (BSM), following the signing of an exclusive supply and distribution agreement recently at the PGGMB Building in Bandar Seri Begawan.Under the agreement, BSM becomes the exclusive distributor of Pennzoil lubricants in Brunei, bringing the globally recognised brand to customers across the country.
The agreement was signed by Ami Akhram Abdullah, Director, Manufacturing & Engineering, Sime UMW and Mohammed Alexirwan Omar, Managing Director of BSM. Witnessing the signing was Iskandar Mohamed Salleh, Head of UMW Lubetech Sdn. Bhd. and Erdiana Mulyati Haji Abdul Rahim, Marketing and Commercial Manager at BSM, followed by commemorative plaques exchange to mark the new partnership.
As a 100% Shell-owned lubricant brand, Pennzoil complements BSM’s flagship Shell lubricant portfolio by providing motorists, workshops and businesses with a broader range of trusted lubricant solutions. Erdiana shared that while Shell remains central to BSM’s offering, Pennzoil enhances its product range by providing customers with greater flexibility to meet different needs.
UPD will introduce Pennzoil’s Passenger Car Motor Oil (PCMO) range as its offering in Brunei, with additional automotive and industrial lubricants to be introduced progressively. Pennzoil also made its public debut at the 33rd Consumer Fair held at the international Convention Centre from 24 to 28 June 2026, ahead of its commercial rollout through selected authorised distributors and workshops.
The collaboration marks another step in UMW Lubetech’s regional growth strategy by combining UPD’S lubricant expertise with BSM’S established market presence and distribution network. Beyond expanding Pennzoil’s reach in Brunei, the partnership strengthens UMW Lubetech’s presence in the region and reinforces its commitment to delivering quality lubricant solutions to customers across Southeast Asia.
