Valvoline, the lubricant brand currently located in Lexington, Kentucky, is planning to open a new global headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, the company announced.

The company's current base in Lexington, Kentucky, will remain its central hub for operations in the United States, Canada and Latin America, and will continue to employ more than 400 people.

The company's new global headquarters will be located in downtown Cincinnati, where it expects to invest in a complete revitalization of the 50,000 sq. ft. it will occupy. The move positions executive leadership and global functions minutes away from the company's largest production facility while also providing the space, infrastructure and connectivity necessary for the company's continued growth, Valvoline representatives said. The new space will be designed to accommodate up to 120 employees.

"Today marks an important moment for our company," said Jamal Muashsher, president and chief executive officer of Valvoline Global Operations. "Expanding our presence in Cincinnati and creating our Americas Hub in Lexington provides the space for our teams to better collaborate, innovate and operate more effectively, which will ensure we continue providing top-tier support for our customers worldwide."

The planned renovation and transition to the new global headquarters will happen over the coming months, with the new facility expected to open in the spring of 2027.
