Acquisition Overview
TotalEnergies has acquired Tecoil, a Finnish company specializing in the production of Re-Refined Base Oils (RRBOs). Tecoil operates a facility in Hamina, Finland, with a capacity of 50,000 tons of RRBOs per year.
Circular Economy Network
Tecoil has established a circular economy network for collecting used lubricants across Europe. The company uses a re-refining process to treat used oils, giving them properties comparable to virgin base oils.
