The future is the destination in our ultra-modern in-house laboratory. Our team meets every technical challenge, fine-tunes tailor-made products, and develops individual solutions to diverse problems. Always thinking one step ahead – that’s why we stand for innovations such as special biological products based on renewable raw materials. And here the close cooperation with our customersis a decisive success factor. Listening, thinking, fine-tuning – a harmonious triad with which we constantly develop new groundbreaking products and concepts.

Every day, our team is working on developing new products and special solutions. As a result, we play an important international role in the field of engine oil development, e.g. with oils for low speed pre-ignition (LSPI) or fuel economy oils that reduce fuel consumption.

Our experts use special additive packages to improve the performance properties of lubricants, which are becoming more and more complex, in line with higher requirements. A modern passenger-car motor oil, for example, contains 20 to 25% more additives, and commercial vehicle oils contain 10% more than that.Production made in Germany
