Fuchs Group has consolidated its operations in Switzerland, establishing Fuchs Swiss Lubricants AG, integrating the activities of two companies acquired in 2024, the company said in a press release this week.
Switzerland’s high car ownership rate and thriving machinery, electrical engineering and metals industries make for an attractive market for lubricant blenders. The country also exports almost a quarter of a million kilograms of lube additives per year.
The new entity will be headquartered in Reiden in the canton of Lucerne, and will also be a development and production hub.
Centralizing operations is intended to streamline local activities and reinforce the company’s presence across Switzerland. The combined offering now allows Fuchs access to a range of industries with a broader product and service portfolio.
According to Mario Gehrlein, managing director of Fuchs Swiss Lubricants AG, the company sees opportunities in sectors such as medical technology, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and traditional metalworking, which remains a key part of Switzerland’s SME landscape. He noted the potential for business growth in the coming years.
