SMF Energy Corporation Enters into Multi-Year Lubrication Marketers Agreement with Chevron
SMF ENERGY CORPORATION, (NASDAQ:FUEL), a leading provider of
specialized transportation and distribution services for petroleum
products and chemicals, today announced that its wholly owned
subsidiary, H & W Petroleum Company, Inc., has entered into a multi-year
Lubrication Marketer Agreement with Chevron Products Company, a division
of Chevron U.S.A. Inc., to market Chevron branded lubricants. The Company’s
similar agreement with Chevron U.S.A. for its Texaco brand of lubricants
which was entered into in 2005 also remains in place.
Chevron Global Lubricants North America had previously announced that it
was combining the Chevron and Texaco Commercial and Industrial (C & I)
lubricant brands under the Chevron master brand name, with the exception
of its consumer product offerings marketed under the Texaco Havoline®
product line, which will continue to be marketed through its Texaco
Xpress Lube® network and its other marketing
channels.
Richard E. Gathright, President and CEO commented, "As
recently reported in Fortune Magazine, Chevron is the 6th largest
company in the U.S. by revenue, with over $200B in sales. The
consolidation of the Chevron and Texaco brands and product lines is an
exciting development for the Company and specifically our Mid-Continent
Division lubricant operations in Texas. The addition of the Chevron
brand fills in some product gaps in the Texaco line, allowing us to
provide our customers with the broadest possible commercial and
industrial product line. Our customers will also benefit from Chevron’s
retention of all its prior Texaco formulations by re-branding them as
Chevron, averting any potential product conversion issues for our
customers. In addition, we are pleased to add the Chevron Delo®
HDMO product line, which will complement our former Texaco, now Chevron,
Ursa® Super Plus heavy duty offering, since
the Delo® line of heavy duty motor oils is the
market leader in brand recognition.”
Gathright continued, "Chevron is recognized
as a market leader in the production and marketing of commercial,
industrial and consumer lubricants. With this consolidation, Chevron
will have a single branded product line that will allow us to provide a
single source solution for our customers. We will be able to leverage
the strength of both brands in specific applications and offer a more
inclusive product line, while providing assurance of the historical
Texaco product formulations to those customers who have come to rely on
them in their applications. The addition of the Chevron product line to
our Texaco portfolio will allow us to reach out to new bases of business
that in the past would have required multiple vendors.” About SMF Energy Corporation
