Fuchs consolidates UK operations and wins quality and environmental accolades

1 min read

Fuchs Lubricants (UK) has again been awarded Ford Q1 status and gained ISO 14001 accreditation following a major consolidation exercise in the UK.

The reorganisation has resulted in the company's site being consolidated into a 20 acre self-contained unit at its Stoke-on-Trent HQ. Fuchs Lubricants (UK) is part of Fuchs Petrolub AG, the world’s largest independent lubricant manufacturer, and supplies the whole of the UK and Eire from this site. “Many UK lubricant companies have now relocated to the continent and have changed their business models to suit internal strategies, such as trading through distributors," said Richard Halhead, managing director of Fuchs Lubricants (UK). "Fuchs’ strategy is simple; we manufacture high quality products and offer unrivalled technical support from a UK base, to ensure that our customer demands are met. No other lubricant company offers the same level of technical and sales support from UK headquarters.” The company is offering both coolant audits and site tours: contact Rob Wood, manufacturing director, on 01782 203 715.
