FUCHS Lubricants marks 40 years of innovation, sustainability, and a bright future in the industry

FUCHS Lubricants celebrated its 40th anniversary with a special event that brought together employees, families, and former collaborators at its Italian headquarters. The year 2024 marks an important milestone in FUCHS’ history, not only for reaching this achievement but also for its participation in the upcoming Euroforge fair, a major event for the forging industry, which will take place on October 22-23 at the Allianz MiCo in Milan.

Forty years of growth, with people at the heart of its success

Founded in 1984, FUCHS Lubricants is part of the FUCHS Group, the largest independent lubricant manufacturer in the world, based in Mannheim, Germany, with over 90 years of experience. The group is present in more than 50 countries and employs over 6,000 people globally. The Italian site has achieved remarkable results, employing 105 people and generating a turnover of €107 million in 2023, thanks to continuous investments of over €15 million in the last decade.

During the celebratory event, FUCHS Lubricants CEO, Carlo Ostino, emphasized the importance of people in the company’s success. Highlighting the need to ensure a safe and stimulating work environment and noting that the company is UNI ISO 45001 certified for occupational health and safety, he added: "Our goal is to continue growing by developing increasingly innovative and sustainable products. Innovation and sustainability must be integrated at all levels of the company."

A strategy focused on carbon neutrality

Environmental sustainability is one of the core pillars of FUCHS' strategy. With the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2040, the company has already implemented advanced solutions like ACT (Advanced Circular Technology) and actively supports reforestation projects in partnership with Treedom. Looking ahead, FUCHS plans to further invest in alternative energy sources such as solar power, reinforcing its ongoing commitment to protecting the environment.

Social and community engagement: the human side of FUCHS

Beyond its economic and environmental objectives, FUCHS Lubricants is deeply committed to social responsibility. During the anniversary event, FUCHS highlighted its commitment to social responsibility through its support for local charities, including a soup kitchen in Turin and initiatives offering job opportunities for young people with disabilities. These initiatives showcase the human side of FUCHS, extending its efforts beyond industrial development to include meaningful contributions to local communities.

A celebration focused on team building

 The 40th-anniversary event was also a moment of collective celebration. The day concluded with team-building activities, including a demonstration by rally champion and FUCHS brand ambassador Andrea Nucita, along with engaging interactive experiments led by the local Chemistry Museum MU-CH.
