July 24, 2026 — A lubricant distributor from Côte d’Ivoire visited Shandong Yuangen Petrochemical Co., Ltd. (YUANGEN), a lubricant manufacturer serving international markets, to explore potential OEM and private-label lubricant cooperation for Côte d’Ivoire and the wider West African market.
During the business visit and technical exchange, the distributor toured YUANGEN’s exhibition hall, lubricant manufacturing facilities and R&D center. The visit provided a first-hand view of the company’s product range, production process, quality-control procedures, packaging capabilities and export-oriented OEM service.
Discussions focused on market-appropriate lubricant solutions for local distributors, workshops, vehicle owners, commercial fleets and industrial users in Côte d’Ivoire and neighbouring Francophone West African countries.
Product Selection and Private-Label Packaging for the Côte d’Ivoire Market
At the YUANGEN Exhibition Hall, the visiting distributor reviewed products suited to motorcycle, passenger-vehicle, commercial-vehicle and general lubrication channels. The product range discussed included:
Motorcycle Oil — API SL / JASO MA2 20W-50
Motorcycle Oil — API SL / JASO MA2 15W-40
Automotive Gear Oil — API GL-5 SAE 85W-140
Automatic Transmission Fluid — ATF DX-III
Lithium Grease 3#
A key part of the discussion was YUANGEN’s flexible private-label packaging and branding support. For retail, workshop, fleet and wholesale channels, the team presented 1L, 4L and 20L packaging options for applicable liquid lubricant products, together with custom packaging configurations according to product type and market needs.
The two sides also exchanged views on bottle design, label layout, multilingual packaging, brand positioning and private-label lubricant development. These capabilities can help lubricant distributors build a locally relevant brand while working with a manufacturer that can support consistent product quality and export supply.
Factory Visit Highlights Manufacturing and Quality Control Capability
The delegation visited YUANGEN’s production workshop and observed key stages of lubricant manufacturing, including base-oil blending, additive mixing, automatic filling, labeling, inspection and finished-product packaging.
For overseas distributors and private-label partners, a factory visit is an important part of evaluating whether a lubricant manufacturer can support stable quality, dependable delivery and scalable packaging solutions. The visit enabled the distributor to assess YUANGEN’s manufacturing capability and quality-management processes firsthand.
At the R&D center, YUANGEN’s technical team introduced its product-development process, laboratory testing capability and quality-assurance procedures, from raw-material inspection through finished-product testing.
Preliminary Cooperation Intention for West Africa
Following the factory tour and business discussions, both parties reached a preliminary intention for cooperation. Future discussions will focus on product selection, packaging specifications, label design, market positioning, product evaluation and potential supply arrangements.
“This visit gave us a clearer understanding of YUANGEN’s lubricant manufacturing capability, quality-control system and technical support. We were particularly interested in the company’s flexible OEM and private-label services, as well as its packaging solutions for different market channels. The visit has strengthened our confidence in exploring long-term cooperation for the Côte d’Ivoire lubricant market.”
A YUANGEN representative added:
“West Africa is an important growth market for lubricant distributors and private-label brands. We are pleased to welcome our partner from Côte d’Ivoire and look forward to supporting market development with suitable products, flexible packaging, customized branding and reliable export service.”
