We are building a robust European distribution network, and the addition of Samaro will enable us to better serve food grade lubricant customers in France".
Samaro has hired a dedicated product manager to handle the Petro-Canada account and will be investing additional resources over the coming months to accompany and support the Petro-Canada Purity FG food grade products in the French marketplace.
The complete line of Purity FG lubricants includes greases, hydraulic fluids, gear fluids, chain fluids, compressor fluids, trolley fluids and heat transfer fluids.
"We have been looking to expand and develop our food and beverage portfolio for quite a while, and it was important that we partner with an industry leader with an innovative product offering" says Olivier Spillebout, Samaro General Manager.
"Petro-Canada was the right fit.
We feel that their Purity FG food grade lubricants are amongst the best, and that their research and development, and continual innovation will enable us to offer a premier portfolio to food and beverage manufacturing operations across the country.
