Gulf Oil partners with Autohub Group to expand premium lubricant distribution across the Philippines, enhancing service for all vehicles
In a landmark move for the Philippine automotive industry, Gulf Oil has officially joined forces with the Autohub Group. Gulf Oil has been recognized as a global giant with over 125 years of heritage, and Autohub Group is renowned in the country as a premier “super dealer.” The partnership was announced during a ceremonial signing event. Through Autohub’s extensive retail and service network, the world-class lubricant technology is now more accessible to everyday Filipino drivers.
Expanding the Reach: Beyond the Dealership
While Gulf Oil has established its presence in the industrial sector and maintained its presence in the Philippines for 28 years, its B2B and industrial sectors are now shifting to focus on the retail market.
Willy Tee Ten, Chairman of the Autohub Group and President of the Philippine Automotive Dealers Association, highlighted the synergy between the two brands:
“We want to take Gulf Oil to the next level. Through our NextHub service centers, we can now offer high-quality Gulf lubricants to all car owners. Even those driving brands we don’t traditionally represent can now be reached.”
Innovation for the Future
The partnership isn’t just about traditional engines. Addressing the evolving market, Michael Alfred Francisco, GM of Gulf Oil Philippines, confirmed that Gulf is already equipped for the shift toward Electric Vehicles (EVs) and high-performance hybrids. Their latest products, such as the Gulf Ultrasync GDI, are specifically designed for modern, small-displacement, and hybrid engines.
A Shared Vision
The alliance is built on a foundation of reliability and passion. Autohub is celebrating 27 years in the industry, and Gulf is hitting its 125th global anniversary; it leverages 80+ dealerships and a 2,000-strong workforce with this partnership. As for Gulf Oil, Filipino motorists seeking “unstoppable” engine performance will make Gulf Oil a household name.
