INDUSTRY NEWS MAK CHEM & LUBES join A&S International Ltd
MAK CHEM International & MAK LUBES International brands become part of the growing product range represented by the UK based technical sales consultancy.
A&S International is excited to start the new year with not one but two excellent new additions to its growing range of quality brands. MAK CHEM’s range of maintenance chemicals have been acquired along with the MAK LUBES range of maintenance lubricants.
A&S International will offer both product lines to their global distributor network & developing UK direct client base with immediate effect. Sales of these new quality maintenance chemicals & lubricants steadily grew during the second half of 2020 despite the limiting business conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Particular success has already been enjoyed by the MAK CHEM brand in Greece, Philippines & Portugal. The majority of the products can be easily & effectively
demonstrated to clients; however, due to the current inability to visit industrial sites in many countries, a range of demonstration videos have been produced for inclusion on the corporate websites & social media.
Angus Macdonald, Co-Founder & Director of A&S International Ltd, said “It is fantastic to start 2021 with the great news that the MAK CHEM & LUBES International brands are now part of our growing range of products. We have ambitious plans to develop the global sales of these high-performance maintenance chemicals & lubricants via our team of loyal distributors, direct clients here in the UK as well as a new network of distributors.
Our team is pleased to see the high level of interest from around the world despite the continuing challenges of doing business in a pandemic.”

Asian Lubricant Manufacturers Union announces name change
The Asian Lubricant Manufacturers Union (ALMU), a Singapore-based organisation that represents the interests of a broad range of lubricant industry businesses throughout Asia, has announced a new corporate name following approval by The Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). ALMU will now be known as the Asian Lubricants Industry Association or “ALIA”. The new name reflects the diverse membership of the trade association and more closely aligns with ALIA’s ambition to become the trusted voice of the wider Asian lubricants industry.
“2021 marks an important point in the evolution of this organisation,” said Tan Pai Kok, Council Chairman, and Vice President of Operations, Lubricants, Asia Pacific & Middle East, Total Oil Asia Pacific Pte Limited. “Over the past three years,
we have developed the platform for a united voice for the Asian lubricants industry. The objective of our corporate name change is to clearly emphasise our value proposition and allow us to continue to attract businesses from throughout the entire lubricants value chain, offering incremental benefit to our members.”
As part of the name change, ALIA has released a new company logo for marketing and brandpurposes, as well as a new website, https://
asianlubricants.org/. Otherwise, all details and structures of the former ALMU remain unchanged.
