Infineum Announces Strategic Framework Agreement with Rianlon to Strengthen Asia-Pacific Supply Chain

With this pioneering move, our vision is to ensure that customers can receive the best of both companies’ strengths; Infineum quality products supported by our international footprint and capabilities, leveraging Rianlon’s regional cost efficiency, speed and operational excellence in the manufacture of lubricant additive components.  This is designed to help our customers deliver the high-quality products the market demands while also recognizing the need and focus for cost efficiency, through integrating Rianlon’s regional supply capability into Infineum’s global supply network.

We believe that by implementing this agreement, we are collaborating with a world-class player, both contributing our distinct and synergistic values. Over the past years, Rianlon has achieved significant technological advancements, particularly in full-category component coverage and differentiated product development, which gives us distinct advantages in multiple related application fields. These include our ability to expedite future technology development, optimize capacity construction costs, and maintain low operating costs in production management and operations. This collaboration agreement is not only significant for Rianlon and Infineum but also, I believe, for helping to create a new industry model towards building a healthy and sustainable lubricants industry in China as a whole.

Signing this strategic partnership with Rianlon is a hugely important step for Infineum, with a real focus on creating a regional self-sufficient additive supply chain as part of our global supply network strategy.  Rianlon has proven to have superb technical and manufacturing capabilities within China with plans to expand across the Asia Pacific region, which is the perfect match for Infineum and will help both companies to become even more agile and successful amidst the fast-evolving market environment.
