As the regional responsibilities within the FUCHS Group in Africa have developed, it has been decided to rename FUCHS SOUTHERN AFRICA to FUCHS AFRICA, with effect from 1 April 2024. “Our local activities continue to be performed through FUCHS LUBRICANTS SOUTH AFRICA,” says MD Paul Deppe.

“It is important to change the name of the company to move away from the perception that we just serve Southern Africa,” explains Deppe. “FUCHS AFRICA is far more relevant to describe the footprint for which we take business ownership and responsibility.” He adds that FUCHS AFRICA has the responsibility to grow the FUCHS business in all 37 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
