Gapuma at Chevron Oronite’s 2026 Distributors Seminar

Among the few: Gapuma at Chevron Oronite’s 2026 Distributors Seminar

18 June 2026

 GLB Chemical Services Limited, Gapuma Group’s Nigerian subsidiary, was represented at the 2026 Sales Representatives and Distributors Seminar at Chevron Oronite in Paris earlier this month. Prakash Ramchandani, Managing Director of GLB, and Thompson Longe attended on Gapuma’s behalf.

The seminar brought together Chevron Oronite’s distribution network for three days of technical exchange and strategic dialogue. For GLB, appointed Chevron Oronite’s authorised distributor in Nigeria in 2020, these gatherings remain central to a partnership now in its sixth year, one strengthened further in 2025 with Gapuma’s selection as Chevron’s Group II base oils distributor in the Nigerian market.

The programme also included a visit to Chevron Oronite’s plant at Le Havre, where a newly constructed, fully automated warehouse has been brought into operation. The facility holds up to 8,200 pallets, a clear signal of the scale and sophistication underpinning Oronite’s European supply chain.

Our thanks to the Chevron Oronite team in Paris and Le Havre, among them Eric De Goustine and Daren Barnes, for their hospitality and for another valuable opportunity to deepen a relationship built on technical excellence and shared commitment to the Nigerian market.
