The FUCHS Group began its journey toward the new FUCHS2025 business strategy in early 2019. Having already enjoyed highly successful and fast growth in the preceding years, the Group was also keen to secure its future growth with this step. One and a half years later, CEO Stefan Fuchs and Rouven Acquaviva, Head of Strategy Development, explain what FUCHS2025 means for the company, its customers, and its employees – while also describing the path to the ultimate goal. A chat about new perspectives, cultural diversity, and team spirit.

Products should be environmentally friendly: cars, packaging, washing machines – and lubricants. One of the goals during production is to keep consumption of energy and raw materials as low as possible. However, is it only a good carbon footprint during the manufacturing process that counts when it comes to picking the best solution for the environment?

It also shows how FUCHS thinks, as entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to get started are deeply embedded in the group's DNA.
