FUCHS Lubricants will be joining African and international construction and mining industries at bauma CONEXPO AFRICA in Johannesburg from 13 to 16 March.

FUCHS has a wide range of locally and internationally manufactured oils and greases that cover the entire lubricants market, including heavy-duty diesel vehicles, civils and earthworks, mining, agriculture, food industry, automotive, and heavy-duty industrial manufacturing and engineering.

“FUCHS manufactures approximately 90% of their products locally and relies on the FUCHS global purchasing division based in Germany to source the highest-quality mineral, semi-synthetic and full synthetic base oils,” said Mitch Launspach, National Sales Manager – Commercial, FUCHS Lubricants South Africa.

“Our strength is more than just the breadth of our product range, but also the fact that the majority of our products carry OEM approvals. As equipment becomes more technologically sophisticated and down-time a critical factor for contractors, the quality of the product and its ability to perform to optimal levels for long periods is a huge factor from an operator’s point of view.”

“The fact that FUCHS is a major supplier of private label lubricants to many of the OEM’s operating on the sub-continent is an indication of the quality and reliability of our products in all applications and under the most strenuous operating conditions. Whether it be pressings oils at car plants, fire-resistant hydraulic fluids at the country’s largest steel producer and coal mines, mills or food processing plants.”

“For FUCHS Lubricants, being at the Expo for second year running shows that this is the correct platform to showcase our company’s products,” he said.

The event is expected to see over 600 exhibitors. FUCHS Lubricants will display at stand T1.430 in the outdoor area Terrace 1.
