Dubai sales manager leaves Chemoil


Kalrav Dixit leaves Chemoil to head up Sharjah-based trading operation.

Kalrav Dixit, Sales and Marketing Manager at Chemoil's Dubai office, has left the company to work for Gulf Petrochem FZC.

Dixit, who spearheaded the launch of Chemoil's Fujairah supply operations in March 2008, confirmed to Bunker Index that his last day at the company was on Wednesday, 14th July.

In his new role, Dixit said that he will be taking over as Trading Manager at Sharjah-based Gulf Petrochem.

Originally from India, Dixit joins an organization which also has links to the Indian subcontinent.

Established in 1998, Gulf Petrochem was founded by Ashok Goel and Sudhir Goyel, who arrived in the UAE from India to exploit the potential of exporting petroleum-based oils and lubricants back to India and, in just over 10 years, have created a $100 million turnover company.

Gulf Petrochem established a re-refinery in Sharjah's Hamriyah Free Zone in 1998, which enabled it to enter into oil production. Then, in 2008, the company commissioned a condensate splitter at Hamriyah Free Zone with distillation columns capable of handling a large spectrum of petroleum-based feedstock.

In addition to oil refining and oil trading, Gulf Petrochem is also involved in the manufacture and supply of high quality grease products and lubricating oils.

Gulf Petrochem has also commissioned the construction of a storage terminal facility at the port of Fujairah, which, once completed, will enable the company to provide independent storage services for its liquid petroleum products and for customers.
