80 years of Klüber Lubrication

Quality and Innovation

Munich, April 09, 2009 - What started out as a retail shop for mineral oil products in April 1929 has by now become the world's leading company for speciality lubricants: Klüber Lubrication. Close cooperation with customers has been a vital aspect of our business activities. Supporting them in implementing their innovations by means of specifically developed lubricants and cooperating with them to find lubrication solutions for taxing requirements has proven a useful approach from the beginning. What followed was the focus on speciality products and the expansion of Klüber's business worldwide.

With 31 subsidiaries and a large number of trading partners, Klüber Lubrication is today a group with a worldwide presence. The youngest of its 15 production sites became operative in China last year. Fitting to the company's imminent 80th anniversary, the more than 1800 staff attained another record turnover in 2008.

Klüber offers comprehensive solutions that support the customers particularly in currently pressing tasks such as process cost optimisation and better efficiency. "We are confident that we can offer the right solutions to more and more customers also in this very difficult year", explains Claus Langgartner, Speaker of the Board, "based on our innovative products, continued comprehensive consulting and services and, which is most important, the economic benefit this provides to our customers."
