Understand
We start from the technical, commercial and application requirements behind the request — what the product has to do, where it has to do it, and on what terms.

Petroleum products for professional buyers
Base oils and lubricants.Produced, not traded.Specified with you.
SAM Group produces and supplies base oils, engine oils, industrial and marine lubricants, additives and coolants — and develops formulations to meet the technical and commercial requirements behind an order.
Who we are
A manufacturer,not a trading company.
SAM Group produces base oils, lubricants and additives, and supplies them to businesses that buy on specification. Dealing with the producer means the formulation, the packaging and the supply terms are all settled in the same conversation.
- 01We produce
- Base oils, engine oils, lubricants and additives — made, not bought in and resold.
- 02We formulate
- Products developed against a stated technical and commercial requirement.
- 03We supply
- Packaging and volumes arranged around the product and the route it travels.
Trust indicators
What buying from the producer changes.
Four things that follow from dealing with the company that makes the product.
Direct manufacturer
Your specification reaches the people who produce the product, without an intermediary in between.
Sample before commitment
Engine oil and base oil enquiries begin with a sample, so the product is evaluated before anything is agreed.
Formulation to requirement
Where the catalogue does not answer the need, the product is developed against the requirement instead.
Supply built around the order
Bulk, flexitank, IBC and drum, selected for the volume and the route rather than offered as a fixed list.
Our products
Six families, and one route into each.
