Fuchs Petrolub AG continues expansion program

Fuchs Petrolub AG announced that it plans to expand its Melbourne, Australia, facility and undertake a major redevelopment in Newcastle. The A$5.5 million (US$5.7 million) expansion is part of a global investment project by the company which began in Melbourne last year when the company launched a new regional Lubricant Laboratory and Technical Center designed to boost local and regional lubricant development and sales. Now completely refurbished, the center has advanced equipment which can be used for the formulation and application of all types of lubricants and functional fluids. (June 19, 2012)
