With the increased demand for genuine lubricants in the marketplace, HLYM has extended its value proposition by incorporating a QR code on Yamalube lubricant products and spare parts that are delivered to the market. Customers can verify the authenticity of the lubricant by scanning the QR code on the
bottle. In future, the QR code will also be available on all our service item, plastic items, engine parts as well as Electrical parts.
