MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 22, 2021 // PRNewswire // - Valvoline Inc. (NYSE: VVV), a U.S.-based announced today a partnership agreement between Valvoline™Canada and the Toronto Blue Jays™. This historic first for Valvoline Canada will provide the 150-year-old brand marketing rights throughout the 2021 season.
