COMPANY PROFILE Proudly Australian since 1926
Message from Penrite General Managers I started at Penrite in 1981, two years after Dad bought the business, working in production. Here I learned and understood very quickly that product quality and innovation was indeed the foundation of Dads philosophy for Penrite. Working in production was not my destiny so I went back to university and obtained a Bachelor Degree in accounting and returned to Penrite working in administration, in an accounting and customer service role. Here I learned that not only was the quality of the product important but, equally so, was the necessity to provide exceptional customer service. In 2014, as General Manager Operations, l oversee the administration, supply chain and production components of the business. I like to think that the many years of service with Penrite has imbed the qualities my father bought to the business; the importance of a quality product, to be a fearless innovator, to work with customers, to work with integrity. With such a sound base, I am really looking forward to the future. Our plans to take the organisation and products into countries and industries, that until now, have been unexplored is truly exciting. Nigel Dymond General Manager, Operations I followed in the footsteps of my late father, John, and studied Mechanical Engineering in Melbourne, Australia. After receiving my degree, I was employed as a Design Engineer for General Motors. During this time, I continued studying, receiving a Masters of Business Administration (MBA). Utilising my qualification s, I travelled internationally working for a number of blue chip insurance companies and banks. In my role as General Manager Sales and Marketing I am committed to our on-going success in product innovation and manufacturing premium, quality products. Penrite has always had the philosophy that we make the right product for the right application with a 100% quality satisfaction guarantee and this will continue under my leadership. I am also very passionate about our staff and customers. We offer excellent support services to all our customers including 7 days a week technical phone advice, product and Industry training, as well as monthly business representation. These services together with our product range and next day delivery offer are some of the factors why Penrite is the Number 1 Recommended Oil Brand in Australia by Independent Mechanics. I am very excited and positive about the future and our on-going commitment to manufacturing products for use throughout the world.

From small beginnings in 1926, Les Mecoles founded Penrite Oil Company, soon purchasing his first factory in Melbourne, Australia, manufacturing high quality lubricants from Pennsylvania base stocks, regarded at the time as the best in the world. In 1979, due to ill health, Les sold the company to John Dymond, Lubrizol s Australian National Sales Manager, a mechanical engineer by trade and a car enthusiast at heart, who rapidly expanded the Penrite range of products. John s technical background and commitment to quality ensured that Penrite continued to produce the highest quality product for every application and this philosophy, implemented by John in 1979, remains a core value of the company to this day. Establishing Team Penrite in the early 80 s, John was able to complete all the R & D requirements for his products on the race track, not only with cars, but also bikes, karts and trucks! Driven by his every product, every application, every customer philosophy John expanded and developed the capabilities and capacity of the business to produce specific products for any market, effectively ensuring Penrite has every industry segment covered. Supported by the largest range of speciality products and all backed up with a 100% product guarantee, John established a product range and brand that is, today, synonymous for its high quality and reliability. For 88 years Penrite has been family owned and managed. Today, Toby and Nigel Dymond manage this World Wide business from Melbourne, Australia, taking John s technical knowledge, his passion and his philosophy forward into the future. Since 1926 (2)

For example, others produce a 0W-40 oil, we produce a 0W-50. FULL ZINC is an anti-wear additive package for ultimate engine wear protection. These products contain between 1200-1600 ppm (parts per million). FULL ZINC+ contains zinc, boron and organomolybdenum complex to lift the total level of anti-wear package additives to over 2200+ ppm. Together with FULL ZINC and the EXTRA TEN, this combination provides a DOUBLE LAYER of engine wear protection over normal SAE grade engine oils at operating temperature. As seen on the chart opposite. SHEAR FREE products offer start up protection, maintains oil pressure and eliminates viscosity loss for ultimate performance. Shear Free is the breaking down of oil molecules as a result of heat and load. As shear increases it inhibits the oils' ability to protect against metal to metal contact with resultant wear, loss of oil pressure and engine power. TO FIND OUT MORE about how Penrite's "EXTRA TEN" protects your engine, simply scan the code with your smart device to view the short VIDEO. SHEAR FREE. What does it mean? As seen on the chart above, Normal Oil will lose their viscosity and ability to maintain OIL PRESSURE, where as 10 Tenths Racing oils will maintain viscosity and oil pressure over time giving ultimate performance.
