Pakistan’s mining landscape is set to benefit from a new collaboration between Mine Lubes & Chemicals (MLC), a subsidiary of MAL Pakistan Ltd and Alliance Engineering Chaghai (AECL), part of Autocom. The partnership focuses on delivering world-class lubrication and chemical solutions from ExxonMobil endorsed by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and machinery operators working in demanding mining environments.

One of the key areas of focus will be the Reko Diq project, where Mobil products combined with AECL’s on-ground capabilities will help ensure smooth, efficient and sustainable operations. This collaboration underscores the importance of pairing global innovation with local expertise to meet the unique needs of mining companies in Pakistan.
