Indian Oil Corp inks pact with 3M for auto care centres

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) has signed an agreement with 3M India Ltd for setting up 3M auto care centres at Indian Oil retail outlets (ROs). 3M is a US-based multinational company in the top 100 of Fortune 500 list of companies and has a diversified range of products from adhesives & laminates to car and bike detailing services.

“In our relentless efforts to provide value added services to customers, the auto care centres will not only provide car/bike detailing services but would also sell vehicle care products such as sun films, polish, wax, car shampoo, treatment for the exterior, interior and under-chassis rust protection, among other products and services,” said IOCL in a press release.

The auto care centres will be operated by the franchisee appointed by 3M India Ltd, which plans to establish 25 such centres during 2016-17 on pan India basis. “This partnership is a significant step in further improving vehicle care facilities/services at our ROs and the brand synergy of these two Fortune 100 companies will definitely help in winning the loyalty of existing clientele and fetching new customers,” added the release.
