Mr. Paul Reynolds COO welcomed the guests of Valvoline Lubricant launch event by saying, " Next year, Al Sayer Group will celebrate its 60th Anniversary.
The founder of the business, and our current Chairman, Mr. Naser Mohammed Al Sayer, set the ground rules for how this Company should operate.
He said, “The Al Sayer Group values of honest, trust and personal integrity are at the heart of our business dealings. We will achieve continuous growth by selling only quality products supported by outstanding service and being acknowledged as the best in the business by Customers, Principals, Employees and the Community.”
Tonight’s launch of Valvoline fits exactly with those sentiments. As the “World’s First, World’s Finest Motor Oil”, Valvoline also has a heritage of quality and innovation that has kept it in business for 147 years, and we are delighted to be working together with Valvoline Management to provide this outstanding lubricant range to our customers, and through you, to your customers.
Kuwait, like many countries has a highly competitive market place, where everyone is trying to attract the maximum number of customers.
Everyone knows that it is much less expensive to keep loyal customers coming back than it is to find new customers each time. Customers come back to where they feel they have a good value for money service, getting the product they want for a price they like.
Valvoline is a brand which stands amongst the best. Much more detail of the promotions and the quality of Valvoline will follow, but I can say that it has been tested extensively in this climate and country through our own MNSS garages in all seasons and has performed faultlessly”.
In turn, Mr. G. Saini – Senior General Manager said: "Our efforts have always been to give you the best quality products – with added values & fully supported by an Excellent Service.
While we are aware that cheaper products are available in the market but we at Al-Shahnan along with our Principal – Valvoline Lubricant - have always been looking into Cost – Benefit analysis so that even if our products are little costly on the face value – these will certainly be more economical for you in the long run without compromising the quality aspects as well as optimizing the performance of various type of vehicles & equipments at your end.
We thank you very much for your support for the past many years and we look forward to the same support in future as well”.

1. Lubricants: Synthetics, Semi-Synthetics, Minerals for a range of application in Automotive & Industrial segment
