Delmege, one of Sri Lanka’s most trusted and diversified conglomerates, hosted an event on 11 June 2025 at the Shangri-La Hotel, Colombo, to mark a significant milestone in its partnership with globally renowned energy brand Shell.

The event was attended by senior leaders from both Shell and Delmege, symbolising a powerful alliance, as together they aim to address and progress lubricants solutions in Sri Lanka.

The evening celebrated Delmege Forsyth Energy’s appointment as the authorised Macro Distributor of Shell Lubricants in Sri Lanka. This collaboration is poised to deliver world-class lubrication solutions leveraging Shell Lubricant’s global leadership position and Delmege’s robust distribution network.

Among the distinguished guests were members of Shell Lubricant Asia-Pacific leadership team and the Senior Management of Delmege. Also in attendance were Sri Lanka’s motorsport icons and official Shell brand ambassadors — renowned car racing champion Ashan Silva, and leading motorcycle racing figure Jacques Gunewardena — whose presence reinforced Delmege’s commitment to excellence.

Delmege’s Strategic Business Development and Planning Director Amrith Adhihetty said: “Our alliance with Shell represents more than a business milestone — it’s a shared commitment to innovation, reliability, and long-term growth. Together, we aim to elevate the standard of energy solutions available in Sri Lanka.”

Asia Pacific Shell Lubricant Macro Distributor General Manager Steve Quila said: “Shell is proud to partner with Delmege, a company with a deep-rooted legacy of excellence in Sri Lanka. This launch marks a strategic step forward in bringing our high-performance lubricant solutions to consumers and businesses across key industries to the Sri Lankan market. We believe this collaboration will not only strengthen our presence but also create new value for customers and industries across the country.”

Vallibel One PLC and the Delmege Group Managing Director Dinusha Bhaskaran said: “This collaboration between Delmege and Shell is a strategic move that reflects our commitment to introducing globally trusted brands to the Sri Lankan market. We believe in building long-term partnerships that uplift industries and drive national progress — and Shell’s entry through Delmege is a powerful example of that vision in action.”

The event highlighted Shell’s global leadership position (18 years at the top spot) and competitive advantage through premium and differentiated products, backed by Delmege’s know-how and service experience.
