LONDON, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Valvolineâ„¢ Global Operations, a worldwide leader in automotive and industrial solutions, has announced the opening of its first-ever London office, a regional hub, marking a significant leap forward in the company's global expansion.
"Opening our London hub location marks a pivotal milestone in Valvoline Global's growth strategy," said Valvoline Global CEO, Jamal Muashsher. "We're excited to strengthen our European footprint, as we aim to inspire and enable what and who move the world forward. This is an important next step for our team as we continue to invent – and reinvent – the best solutions to meet the ever-evolving needs of our customers in this crucial region, and beyond."
Located in Central London's Fitzrovia district, the nearly 5,000 sq. ft. high-tech, collaborative space will be home to up to 29 Valvoline Global employees. The new location joins two existing Valvoline Global international hubs in Singapore and Lexington, Ky. (U.S.), which is also home to the company's global corporate and R&D headquarters.
The office unveiling comes at an historic moment marked by rapid growth for Valvoline Global as it approaches its 160th anniversary next year. In 2024, the company was one of the fastest growing lubricants brand worldwide, with sales in more than 140 countries and territories. Fueling this growth, the company continues to lead advancements across fast-paced industries, with global first-in-class products such as Restore & Protect, designed to restore a car's engine to run like new*; fluids for electric vehicles (EVs); and heat transfer solutions for high performance computing (HPC).
The company also continues to expand its global motorsports footprint through its ongoing collaboration with the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team, headquartered in Silverstone (U.K.). Notably, off the track, Valvoline Global has teamed up with the team and Milton Keynes College as part of the company's international Aspiring Mechanics Program. 2025 marks the second year in a row for the Valvoline Global program in the U.K., which provides hands-on mechanic experiences and unique learning opportunities to local students.
"We've spent months preparing for this moment, so seeing this new office finally become a reality is very exciting for all of us," said Davide Crespi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, EMEA. "Our hub office in London will be key to expanding Valvoline Global's presence and impact throughout EMEA as we work to continually serve our customers across the region with exceptional products, while also benefitting the local economy and community."

Valvoline™ Global Operations Expands Worldwide Presence with New Regional Hub Office in London
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The four-day 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) concluded in Las Vegas, with BiLight, a global pioneer in flexible perovskite photovoltaic (PV) technology, making a standout debut as a green tech dark horse. Guided by its brand vision of "Energy Equity," the company is driving the global scenario-based adoption of flexible PV technology.
Themed "Defining the Physical Boundaries of AI," this year's CES highlighted the deep integration of green energy and AI as a key trend. BiLight showcased three core product lines at the Las Vegas Convention Center, shattering the inherent perception of traditional PV products as "bulky, rigid, and single-scenario." Among the highlights, the world-premier rollable flexible perovskite solar curtain garnered significant attention, integrating sunshade, heat insulation, and power generation functions to directly supply electricity to home and office devices, reshaping the "PV + Space" application ecosystem. Additionally, the handheld rollable solar product became a hot favorite for outdoor PV applications, thanks to its portability and efficient energy supplementation capabilities. The lithium-free perovskite electronic nameplate set a new benchmark for office innovation: optimized with low-light power generation technology, it can stably supply energy under ordinary indoor lighting. Paired with low-power e-paper display and Bluetooth refresh functions, it achieves "seamless charging and permanent use," addressing the resource waste of traditional paper nameplates and the environmental concerns of lithium-ion battery devices. This innovative solution attracted extensive consultations and negotiations with office equipment manufacturers and purchasers.
BiLight's tech strength sparked cross-industry collaborations. A top energy storage firm discussed joint R&D for "flexible PV + portable storage" to ease outdoor device battery anxiety. Automotive representative SHM explored rollable solar sunroofs and curtain PV for enhanced vehicle endurance. AI hardware firm BleeqUp and satellite companies also engaged, probing applications in smart terminals, space energy, and IoT tracking.
At a TMTPost-hosted roadshow, BiLight Co-Founder James Fang outlined a three-year roadmap: full-scenario coverage across consumer electronics, automotive storage, building-integrated PV, and satellite energy, building a "PV+" ecosystem. This vision and clear strategy strengthened global partners' confidence.
Looking ahead, BiLight will prioritize R&D, deepen global collaborations, and expand flexible PV's reach. Committed to reshaping the global energy landscape, it aims to fulfill its "Energy Equity" promise—making green energy accessible to all.
