About Us

Company Profile

Market Leader

Indy Oil is an independent manufacturer and marketer of a wide range of automotive and industrial lubricants. Our business is built on the three pillars of excellence: quality, service and value for money. Our technological ability, experience and traction make us a serious competitor in the South African lubricants market.

Our Promise

We promise to supply technologically advanced, guaranteed products, and to provide unequalled quality and service excellence by:

• Communicate with our customers and understand their individual needs
• Offering the highest quality and technologically advanced products
• Create unequalled response time and service excellence
• Providing value for money

Technology Is Our Strength

Indy Oil is proud to be a market leader in the oil business, a position underpinned by a powerful technology base that allows us to offer innovative product development and top-quality products. This reality is confirmed by independent trials in which we have outperformed our competitors.

Our senior management have over 100 man-years of oil industry experience and thoroughly understand the dynamics and technicalities of the business. Our staff also keep pace with new developments and technology, combining skills and expertise with high standards of support and service to give customers a highly professional package.

Our products speak for themselves, clearly demonstrating our technological development capability. Working with international OEMs, we have developed specific products for specific applications. We also have longstanding approval from the majority of these OEMs. This capacity to acquire international approvals speaks volumes for the power of our technology and our quality.

Competitive Advantages

Another competitive advantage stems from the fact that Indy Oil is in a building and growth phase. This means we are gaining additional experience and technological expertise just when the industry is restructuring and downsizing.

Unlike many sales-driven companies, Indy Oil is market-driven and market-focused. This means that we do not impose a certain basket of products on our customers; we listen to them and try to understand exactly what they need. Then we use that knowledge to kick-start further technology-based product development. We do this through regular surveys and our 'Ask Indy' campaign, which encourages customers to engage us with their needs and debates so we can provide the right products for their applications. We believe that in this way we provide additional value to our customers 

Quality Credentials

We don't just pay lip service to the concept of quality. It is one of the three pillars that support our business: quality, service and value for money. And we have the credentials to prove it.

Our fully automated, state-of-the-art blend plant in Kwa Zulu-Natal is accredited with the ISO9001/2008 quality management standard. All Indy Oil products conform to stringent standards and specifications laid down by the American Petroleum Institute and other Japanese, European and American engine builder, making us suppliers of 'World Class Lubricants™'.

Our products meet the highest specifications and are approved by OEMs from all sectors of the market. 

Customer Care

In a world of faceless global giants we bring a refreshing approach to customer care by building one-on-one relationships with customers. We are always available to consult on customer service issues and application-related information. We even return calls promptly!

One of our Unique Selling Points is to give customers the chance to communicate face-to-face with our expert team, tapping into our wealth of knowledge and technological experience to help their businesses run more efficiently. To make this a reality, we launched the 'Ask Indy' programme, where customers can get answers to their technical questions or queries about any application. The programme helps us improve service levels by making it easier than ever for customers to communicate with us.

Where To Find Us
