Chevron is committed to grow in Germany through an exclusive distribution deal in Texaco lubricants with Finke


- First ever sole distributor agreement for Texaco-branded products in the region
- “Optimised processes help to deliver even better outcomes for our customers”, said Jürgen Ulmer, managing director of Chevron Germany
Chevron and Finke Mineralölwerk GmbH have reached an agreement to further strengthen their relationship. From 1 September 2024, Finke will be the sole distributor of the entire portfolio of Texaco-branded products throughout Germany. Texaco is part of the Chevron family of brands.
"This is an exciting development for us", said Jürgen Ulmer, managing director at Chevron Germany. “Our exclusive agreement with Finke is a first for the Texaco brand in this key lubricant market.”
"Finke has supported us in Germany for over six years. In that time, they have continuously demonstrated their understanding of our market sectors and their commitment to customer service. In addition, the relationship between the two companies has gone from strength to strength, allowing us to optimise our business processes and thereby helping to provide even better outcomes for our customers.”
Thomas Hinze, Managing Director at Finke Mineralölwerk GmbH commented, “Chevron, with its brand Texaco, enables Finke to dive deeper into markets where we had no access to previously. The global halo-effect of the brand is a door opener for us. We know that we can rely on the latest product developments, required by the different industries, enriched with best-in-class service. Finke has never before agreed on such a partnership, but we are convinced that we have made the right decision.”
With more than 100 years of experience in Europe, Texaco's product portfolio is comprised of lubricants and coolants for the automotive sector, including passenger cars, commercial vehicles and construction machinery, as well as industrial lubricants for power generation, inland marine and agricultural use. Texaco products, including VARTECH Industrial System Cleaner, are marketed in Europe under the Havoline®, Delo®, HDAX® and Techron® brands
Finke Mineralölwerk GmbH, part of Hoyer, will distribute Texaco-branded products from its headquarters in Visselhövede, Germany, as well as through the approximately 70 regional Hoyer sales offices across the country.
