NYCO expands manufacturing with new facility in Georgia

NYCO, a leading specialist in high-performance lubricants and synthetic esters, has announced the launch of its new greenfield manufacturing facility in Newnan, Georgia, U.S.A.. This marks a significant milestone in the company’s expansion strategy, enhancing its ability to serve the North American market with shorter supply chains and improved service capabilities.

Founded in 1929, NYCO has been supplying U.S. customers with synthetic lubricants and esters for more than 40 years, with a strong focus on aeronautics, defence, industrial, and automotive applications.

Strategic expansion in the U.S. market

Guillaume Lafage, president of the Board at NYCO, highlighted the importance of manufacturing in the U.S. “It was logical for us to take the strategic step of manufacturing in the U.S.A., where the market is diversified and technically dynamic.

“NYCO will meet the needs of our North American customers in terms of shorter supply chain and enhanced services to leading users. Our second goal is to invest into new capacity to follow the growing demand with the ability to expand in the future,” he said.

State-of-the-art facility

The Newnan plant, located in Shenandoah Industrial Park, is designed to meet the highest quality, environmental, health, and safety (EHS) standards. The facility will produce a range of innovative synthetic esters and speciality lubricants.

Jim Mustacchio, CEO of NYCO America, described the project as an advanced technology greenfield investment, strategically positioned 30 minutes from Atlanta Airport to facilitate logistics. He confirmed that startup testing and production trials are currently underway, with full-scale operations scheduled for April 2025.

Strengthening NYCO’s global presence

With the addition of the Newnan facility, NYCO now extends its manufacturing footprint across North America, Europe, and Asia. This expansion will enhance innovation sharing, improve risk mitigation, and provide contingency backup supply to support the company’s global strategic growth.
