LSI Chemical Announces Indonesian Distributor

LSI Chemical has added Indonesian distributor PT Papasari to the company’s roster of international distributors of both LSI Chemical and Hot Shot’s Secret products, the company announced.

PT Papasari, headquartered in Cakung, East Jakarta and with offices and distribution facilities in Pontianak, West Kalimantan and Pegangsaan, North Jakarta, recently signed to market and distribute the full line of LSI Chemical fuel and oil additives, as well as Hot Shot’s Secret fuel and oil additives and specialty oils for aftermarket retail. Product Manager Ivan Prasodjo will be the main contact at PT Papasari for sales of both LSI Chemical and Hot Shot’s Secret products.

“With over 45 years [of] experience selling lubricant-related products throughout Indonesia, it is exciting to bring on a company with the most compelling nanoproducts on the market. LSI Chemical offers the opportunity to leverage our existing lubricant business to new markets and Hot Shot’s Secret will become our performance lubricant brand,” Prasodjo said. “Already, we have customers that are excited about their range of products for diesel and gas vehicles. These two new product lines will fit in seamlessly with our comprehensive oil and lubricant related products.”

“PT Papasari is poised to quickly integrate our product line into their already established automotive retail distribution network,” LSI Chemical President Todd Cawley said. “We are very excited to work with a company that has already established business in Jakarta and throughout Indonesia, established distribution and compatible lubrication products. I feel confident that this will be a long and mutually beneficial partnership.”

PT Papasari is certified by the International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML), currently distributes Schaeffer Lubricants in Indonesia and attends annually the Indonesia International Auto Parts, Accessories and Equip Exhibition in Jakarta at the Jakarta International Expo.
