FUCHS successfully completes the acquisition of the LUBCON Group, a manufacturer of high-performance specialty lubricants 

On April 22, 2024, the FUCHS Group, which operates globally in the lubricants industry, signed an agreement to acquire the international LUBCON Group. The family-run German company, headquartered in Maintal, Hesse, has many years of experience and expertise in the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of greases, oils, and pastes. The company's high-quality products are used in various sectors such as the railway, roller bearings, paper, textiles, food, pharmaceutical and wind industries.

After receiving all the necessary approvals, the acquisition was completed today. The acquisition of the LUBCON Group offers a significant opportunity for future development and global competitiveness. The acquisition brings a team of highly qualified employees with extensive technological expertise as well as an expansion of the product portfolio, particularly in the field of industrial lubricants and greases. This strengthens the existing key markets and enables penetration into new sales markets. This strategic decision will further strengthen the FUCHS Group's position as a leading supplier in the industry. The company will continue to operate from its location in Maintal, Hesse.

In the financial year 2023, the LUBCON Group generated sales revenues of around EUR 40 million with 13 operating companies, five production sites and over 200 employees.
