Sulnox: Distribution agreement with France’s DLBC in International Shipping News 03/06/2026 Sulnox, the greentech company delivering lower fuel costs and emissions with zero capex, is pleased to announce a distribution agreement with DLBC S.A.S, France’s leading distributor of lubricants to the agriculture, commercial road fleet, consumer and industrial segments. The partnership marks further progress in pursuing significant revenue opportunities with land-based customers. Founded in 2006 by former Castrol executives, Merignac-based DLBC distributes leading lubricant brands Veedol, Technilub, Terre-Agri and Castrol, supplying approximately 14 million liters of product per annum, with a turnover of c.$50m. The company operates its own manufacturing & distribution facilities, supported by a highly qualified sales and technical team, with a strong network of approximately 850 dealer distribution points across France. Notably, DLBC is a key manufacturer and supplier of lubricants to top global OEMs in the Agriculture segment and their network of franchise dealerships. In DLBC’s home market of France, industry and agriculture together contribute 22% of GDP (Source: World Bank). Mining and extractive industries, a target sector for Sulnox with an extensive and emissions-conscious supply chain, are experiencing a strategic revival in France, focused on lithium for batteries, tungsten and rare earths. Agriculture specifically, a key segment within DLBC’s customer base, represents a significant opportunity for Sulnox. The sector presents several fuel-related challenges, including: · High fuel cost sensitivity – where fuel represents a significant operating expense, increasing the importance of efficiency improvements · High load, stop-start operating conditions – where demanding conditions such as ploughing and harvesting can lead to increased soot, deposit build-up, and added stress on injectors and engine components · &nbs
