The Asia & Pacific Automotive Lubricants Region of the Lubricants SPU was formed
on April 1, 2009 by the coming together of three erstwhile regions - Transcon (India,
South & Middle East), ASPAC Growth and SEA-Pac to form one of the most exciting
long term growth opportunities for the Lubricants SPU. The Region has a footprint in
over 30 countries in the Asia and Pacific region.
The markets in the Region are complex with a mix of material market spaces,
mature/developed countries as well as emerging and growing markets with diverse
demographic profiles and economic status set in a cross-cultural milieu. In 2010, the
A&P Region achieved record breaking results of revenue in excess of US$2 billion
and RCOP of approximately US$500 million. A&P is now the largest OU in the
Lubricants SPU. India, Vietnam, and Australia are the biggest markets in the A&P
Region.
The majority of our products are under the Castrol brand, however the BP brand is
very strong in certain markets such as Vietnam and Thailand. Castrol is one of the
leading automotive lubricants brands (in consumer awareness and brand health),
which holds a strong market share position in most of the countries we operate.
This is an exciting place to build a career - as we are focused on building talent and
