PENRITE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS WITH GOLDEN ERA EVENTS

These events will be proudly supported by Afton Chemical as Dymond Sponsor

Penrite Oil recently proudly announced its 100 Year Celebrations, marking a century of Australian-made, family-owned history, trusted performance and strong customer relationships.
Founded in 1926, Penrite has grown from a small Australian business into one of the country’s most recognised lubricant brands.
Today, Penrite continues to serve customers across retail, trade, commercial, industrial and agricultural while also expanding into new product categories such as filters. To celebrate this milestone, Penrite will host a series of Golden Era Celebrations across Australia, leading into the major Golden Era Gala in Victoria.
The 100 Year Celebration events commenced in Brisbane on June 6, and will continue into New South Wales (24 July), Western Australia (7 August), South Australia (4 September), and Tasmania (28 August), ahead of the Victorian Gala on 24 September.
Penrite has also been pleased to announce Afton Chemical as the Dymond Sponsor for the 100 Year Celebration events.
Afton Chemical provides additive technology in Penrite products, helping to deliver the performance and quality across engine oils, drivelines fluids, fuels and industrial lubricants.
Afton Chemical has been a proud additive partner of Penrite for over 40 years.
Penrite Oil Chief Executive Officer, Toby Dymond, said the 100 Year Celebrations are an important moment for the business, its people, and its customers, and partners.
“Reaching 100 years is a very proud milestone for Penrite. It is a chance to honour our history, thank the people who have supported us, and celebrate the customers, staff, partners and families who have been part of our journey,” Toby said.
“Penrite has always been built on quality, trust and long-term relationships. As an Australian made and family-owned business, we are proud of where we have come from, but we are also focused on where we are heading next.
“We are delighted to have Afton Chemical join us as Dymond Sponsor for our 100 Year Celebrations. Their support reflects the strength of our relationship and the important role our partners play in helping Penrite continue to deliver high-quality products for Australian and New Zealand customers.”
Penrite Oil Production Planning and Scheduling Manager, Bill Paliouras, echoed Toby’s comments.
“Working closely with Afton Chemical has been important in maintaining the consistency and quality Penrite is known for,” Bill said.
“Their technical expertise and additive solutions help ensure we continue delivering reliable, high-performance products to our customers.
“We’re proud to recognise the strength of this long-standing partnership as part of Penrite’s 100 Year Celebrations.”
Afton Chemical Vice President and Managing Director Asia Pacific, Sean Spencer, said the company was proud to be to be part of the milestone celebrations.
“Penrite has grown its business over more than 100 years by combining Australian innovation with world leading technology, quality, and production excellence,” Sean said.
“Afton Chemical is proud to have contributed to this journey and to celebrate the success of Penrite Oil and the Dymond family.”
The Golden Era Celebrations will bring together Penrite staff, customers, partners and industry friends to recognise the company’s history and celebrate the next chapter of the brand.
The events have been designed to reflect Penrite’s 100-year story from its early beginnings in Melbourne to today, as a trusted Australian brand across workshops, racetracks, farms, worksites, and homes.
