Develops, manufactures and markets industrial process fluids and provides Fluidcare chemical-management services for heavy manufacturing. The portfolio includes metal-removal fluids, rolling lubricants, hydraulic fluids, surface-treatment chemistry, cleaners, corrosion inhibitors, forming and die-casting fluids, greases, quenchants and offshore subsea control fluids.
Serves steel, aluminum, automotive, aerospace, can, mining, offshore and metalworking customers across the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. Technical employees work directly at customer plants, supported by applied-research laboratories and proprietary formulations, to tailor fluids and manage chemical programs.
Demand tracks production volumes in metal-intensive industries. Raw-material costs are exposed to crude-oil and natural-gas derivatives, and international results depend on currency movements, trade policy and local environmental and workplace-safety requirements.
