Galaxy Oil launches Rymco lubricants

Dr. Joyce Aryee, Chief Executive Officer, Ghana Chamber of Mines, has officially launched Rymco lubricant for the country’s downstream petroleum market.

“Rymco lubricants are expected to play a critical role in the mining industry, where 40 percent of capital is spent on maintenance to lubricate equipment to minimise friction.

“The Chamber of Mines and its members are also concerned about the environmental hazards associated with the disposal of lubricants, and has instituted mechanisms to ensure proper disposal of containers to protect the environment.”

Dr. Aryee told this to participants comprising technical experts, mechanics, players in the marine and mining industries, and automobile dealers among others at the official launch of the products in Accra.

Rymco lubricant is manufactured in Holland by VPS International and distributed by Lubes Engineering and Marketing Limited, a subsidiary of Galaxy Oil Ghana Limited - a major player in the lubricant-distribution sector in the country.

Mr. Erik Vermeer, Export Manger of VPS International, explained that top-quality materials are used to produce Rymco with the users in mind.

“Rymco lubricants have been specifically selected to suit the country’s conditions.
The product includes automotive engine oil, automotive transmission and gear oil, industrial oil for hydraulic systems and gears, marine lubricants and specialty oil for mining, construction, power, and energy equipment.

“Until recently, the lubricant-distribution sector was the preserve of transnational oil marketing companies such as Texaco and BP among others, but a vacuum was left after most of these companies withdrew their services,” Mr. Vermeer said.

Mr. Emmanuel Dadson, General Manager, Lubes Engineering and Marketing Company Limited, said: “The Company will not just sell the products to customers but make use of technical expertise to help select grades that provide functional and emotional benefits.

“We shall offer after-sales visits and train technical staff of our customers to apply the lubricant in a most-efficient manner in order to promote profitability.”

He assured that Rymco lubricants will protect any kind of equipment or engine if properly applied, stressing that the company will ensure reliable supply to customers by using the forecourts of Galaxy Oil, independent suppliers and direct distribution.

Rymco lubricant is approved by international specification authorities such as the International Standards Organisation (ISO), American Petroleum Institute, and Society of Automotive Engineers. It is also recognised in over 60 countries for its quality and high performance.
