TotalEnergies signs original equipment lubricants partnership
TotalEnergies announced last week that it had signed a partnership for the supply of original equipment lubricants to AMADA Europe’s plants, as well as a range of AMADA-branded lubricants on June 8, 2021. The partnership with AMADA Europe, a leading manufacturer of machine tools for the sheet metal industry, will last for five years and will cover 14 countries in Europe. AMADA operates in Europe with 10 branches in 13 countries and eight production sites, employing 1,500 people and serving approximately 30,000 customers.
