Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. today announced that it has partnered with BP Lubricants USA to begin blending Castrol Motor Oil in its newly expanded blending and packaging facility in Shreveport, LA. The company will officially announce the partnership at a ceremony on Dec. 5 at the facility.
Recently, Calumet greenlit a capital improvement project to expand the Shreveport facility. The facility is a 15-acre space where Calumet manufactures, blends and packages specialty lubricants, fuels and solvents.
It operates a highly automated explosion-proof filler with a capacity of 3.7 million gallons. When Calumet first acquired the facility in 2012, it was an 85,000 square foot production and warehouse facility with bulk tank storage capacity of approximately 1.5 million gallons.
The Shreveport facility now has 400,000 sq. ft. in additional storage, dual loading/unloading racks, as well as a dedicated rail spur and convenient railway access.
“We are confident in the capabilities of the Shreveport facility team and are excited at the potential opportunities stemming from this partnership with BP Lubricants,” said Harji Gill, Vice President of Sales Brand Products for Calumet.
