Duckhams celebrates top distributors in Chinese New Year Awards ceremony

Iconic British lubricant brand Duckhams Oils celebrated its highest performing distributors in Malaysia at a special Chinese New Year conference and dinner.

Guests from across the industry met with Duckhams Oil Malaysia representatives to highlight progress over the past 12 months. 14 awards were given across a range of categories, including highest-volume growth and overall best distributor performance in passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and motorcycles. Henrik Hansen, Duckhams’ Head of Sales, spoke to the conference via video link to congratulate them on their success.

Over the past 12 months, Duckhams has seen strong success in the Malaysian market. In 2025, Duckhams unveiled its co-branded two-wheeler oils, proudly developed in collaboration with JDT Lubricants in Malaysia. Duckhams Oils were also awarded SIRIM Product Certification, confirming that Duckhams Lubricants meet strict safety, quality and regulatory standards. The SIRIM certification was introduced in response to growing concerns over the increasing number of counterfeit engine oils in domestic and international markets.

Mike Bewsey, Duckhams CEO, commented, “Our distributors in Malaysia have had an excellent 12
months, and we were delighted to recognise their achievements in this Chinese New Year event. Each
plaque awarded celebrates the hard work and dedication that our partners have put into growing Duckhams sales in international markets. With the SIRIM certification now in place, we look forward to another year of growth in Malaysia, delivering our iconic British brand to the vibrant Malaysian market.”
