Pakistan’s mining industry is poised to benefit from a strategic collaboration between Mine Lubes & Chemicals (MLC), a subsidiary of MAL Pakistan Ltd, and Alliance Engineering Chaghai (AECL), part of Autocom.
The partnership aims to introduce world-class ExxonMobil lubricants and chemical solutions — globally endorsed by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and trusted by heavy machinery operators across industries — to mining operations in Pakistan.
Strengthening Mining Operations
ExxonMobil lubricants are internationally recognized for their performance, reliability, and durability in high-demand environments. Through this collaboration:
- MLC will ensure the availability of these premium products for Pakistan’s mining industry.
- AECL will enhance the offering by leveraging its expertise in vehicle support, construction management, warehousing, and inspection services.
Together, the companies will deliver a comprehensive support framework to reduce machinery downtime, boost operational efficiency, and extend the lifespan of mining equipment.
Focus on Reko Diq
One of the primary areas of focus will be the Reko Diq project, one of Pakistan’s most significant mining ventures. By combining Mobil™’s advanced lubricants with AECL’s on-ground technical expertise, the collaboration seeks to ensure smooth, efficient, and sustainable mining operations.
This approach underscores the value of global innovation paired with local expertise to address the unique challenges of Pakistan’s mining landscape.
