Corporate Profile

Incorporated in Malaysia in 1991, Hyrax Oil Sdn Bhd (Hyrax Oil) has achieved a remarkable growth since its inception.  With 32 years of experience, Hyrax Oil has rapidly grown from its humble beginning as a transformer oils trading company to become an established manufacturer and a global player in the manufacturing of lubricants with a full range of top quality and high-performance lubricants; including transformer oils, specialty products and other petroleum derivatives.

Today, Hyrax Oil has gained a reputation as a world class lubricants provider boasting a global footprint spanning across Asia, the Middle East and Africa, with market presence in over 35 countries.  The growing demands of lubricants continue to command focused attention from Hyrax Oil’s dedicated workforce.  Ensuring the wide reach of its market expansion, the company has embarked on a market rationalisation into regions with re-organised off-site production facilities. 

In Malaysia, Hyrax Oil’s 3.5-acre export-oriented blending plant is positioned to serve far-reaching global markets by taking logistical advantage of its strategic location within the vicinity of Port Klang, one of the busiest ports in Southeast Asia.  Whilst the latest 5-acre blending plant in Muthurajawela, Sri Lanka, is designated to focus and serve the South Asian region.  Both plants are fully equipped with an advanced laboratory and state-of-the-art infrastructure, catering to a wide assortment of requirements from both domestic and international customers.

Hyrax Oil’s commitment to quality and excellence is the foundation of its growing success.  With rigorous research and development works incorporated into product formulations, the company takes pride in creating its high-performance lubricants.  In addition, through the certification of ISO 9001:2015, Hyrax Oil continues to demonstrate its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.  Moreover, the company’s production and supply reliability and logistics efficiency, supported by a comprehensive marketing program, have increased its customers’ confidence and brand loyalty towards Hyrax branded products.

Respectively, as a recognition of its high-quality, excellent and distinctive products, Hyrax Oil has earned the National Mark of Malaysian Brand, which was awarded by SME Corporation Malaysia in collaboration with SIRIM QAS International Sdn Bhd, since it was first launched in 2009.  The National Mark Certification program serves to promote the development of Malaysian brands that meet global quality standards, and Hyrax brand proudly and prestigiously represents one of them.
