The appointment of Duo Trading as a distributor for TotalEnergies Marketing Australia marks more than a commercial agreement

For Duo Trading, this appointment represents a strategic shift in how advanced lubrication solutions will reach the Tasmanian market in the years ahead.
At a time when supply chain resilience, technical expertise and local service capability matter more than ever, this partnership brings together two organisations whose strengths complement each other.
TotalEnergies Marketing Australia enters the Tasmanian market with the weight of a global multi energy company behind it – its nationwide logistics network, vast research and development expertise, and proven ability to support critical sectors from automotive, transport, agriculture and industrial operations, give the brand a scale few can match.
Tasmania’s market relies on suppliers who understand the specific requirements of local operations, regional challenges, and the value of a personal and reliable service.
Within this context, Duo Trading’s role becomes pivotal.
As a proudly Tasmanian, family owned business founded in 1976, Duo Trading has spent five decades building trust and long-term supply relationships across the state.
Its extensive distribution footprint, multiple warehouses, and the largest lubrication focused sales team in Tasmania have positioned it as a dependable partner for workshops, industrial operators, and regional businesses alike.
For Duo Trading, its reputation for providing a reliable service along with hands on technical support is not just a point of pride, it is a significant competitive advantage.
The synergy between global capability and local expertise is regarded as the defining strength of this partnership.
TotalEnergies brings innovation-led products and world-class lubricant technology; while Duo Trading brings the relationships, agility, and on the ground knowledge required to deliver those solutions effectively.
Together, the two organisations are poised to raise expectations for lubricant supply, technical support, and customer value across the state.
TotalEnergies Marketing Australia Managing Director, Louis Haendler, notes the partnership reflects a shared commitment to customer-focused values.
And as Duo Trading’s Managing Director Ben Fergusson highlights, combining 50 years of service to Tasmania with the backing of a globally respected brand creates a powerful opportunity for customers.
In an industry where reliability, performance and trust matter, this collaboration is regarded by the partners as a meaningful step forward for Tasmania’s automotive and industrial sectors and a promising foundation for the next 50 years.
