TotalEnergies Marketing Australia has appointed Duo Trading Pty Ltd as a new authorised distributor, marking the beginning of a strategic partnership set to strengthen the delivery of advanced lubrication solutions across Tasmania’s automotive and industrial sectors.
The collaboration brings together TotalEnergies’ global expertise, technical innovation and robust supply capability with Duo Trading’s deep local knowledge, extensive distribution footprint and long-standing customer relationships. Together, the partners aim to deliver more than products alone – offering enhanced access, technical support and value to Tasmanian customers.
TotalEnergies Marketing Australia is a subsidiary of global multi-energy company TotalEnergies SE and operates a nationwide logistics and warehousing network supplying advanced lubricants across the automotive, mining, civil, transport, agriculture and industrial sectors. Through a strategic distributor network and multiple warehouses in capital cities, the company ensures reliable product availability and Australia-wide coverage, including regional and remote locations.
Founded in 1976, Duo Trading is a proudly Tasmanian, family-owned business and one of the state’s leading wholesale distributors of automotive and industrial products. With Tasmania’s largest and most experienced lubrication-focused sales team, multiple warehouses and dedicated Area Sales Managers across the state, Duo Trading has built a strong reputation for personal service, fast response times and exceptional local support.
A Partnership Built on Strength and Synergy
This partnership represents a shared commitment to raising expectations for lubricant supply and support in Tasmania.
TotalEnergies contributes world-class lubricant technology, underpinned by decades of global research and development and a trusted supply chain that supports critical industries. Duo Trading adds local agility, hands-on technical expertise and a customer-first service model refined through nearly five decades of Tasmanian operation.
Together, the two organisations will deliver a locally driven, globally supported lubrication offering – providing customers with improved access to innovation-led products, stronger technical support and solutions designed to enhance performance across automotive workshops, industrial operators and regional businesses.
Louis Haendler, Managing Director, TotalEnergies Marketing Australia, said:
“This partnership reflects our commitment to working with distributors who share our customer-focused values. Duo Trading’s strong Tasmanian presence and technical capability make them an ideal partner as we continue to bring world-class lubrication solutions closer to the industries and communities that depend on them.”
Ben Fergusson, Managing Director, Duo Trading Pty Ltd, added:
“Combining our local expertise and 50 years of service to Tasmanian customers with TotalEnergies’ global capabilities represents a significant opportunity for our customers to partner with a recognised market‑leading organisation. This collaboration enables us to expand our offering with innovative products, strengthened technical support, and the confidence that comes with the backing of a globally respected brand.”
