MANNOL strengthens anti-counterfeiting measures: New container caps featuring visible authenticity marks

MANNOL is addressing this challenge by introducing new screw caps for its containers. With easily identifiable authenticity features and transparent manufacturer details, the brand is sending a clear signal: at MANNOL, product security is a top priority.

Uniform Features for a Global Brand

To make it easier for distributors and end customers to verify authenticity, the new screw caps bear the SCT and MANNOL brand marks, including the motto "Professionals in Lubricants." The top of the cap features a tactile, embossed texture with an iridescent effect that shimmers depending on the light - a detail that is intentionally difficult to copy. The inner seal now reads "Made by SCT," while the "Original Quality" notice and the SCT logo remain.

The caps are produced in a distinctive silver tone that is echoed on the product labels, including in the product names, viscosity grades, and elements of the new vehicle sketches. This allows the security feature to blend seamlessly into the brand's overall visual identity without overshadowing its functional purpose: clear identification and counterfeit prevention. For trade and service partners, this creates clear checkpoints for incoming goods and sales; for end customers, it provides reliable guidance at the point of purchase.

The new caps will be used across all relevant product categories – including engine oils, transmission oils, industrial oils, and operating and service fluids – and are designed for 1-litre, 4-litre, and 5-litre canisters. The introduction of the new container caps begins immediately; the transition will be rolled out gradually worldwide across the specified product categories and container sizes.

"For MANNOL, product security is the highest priority. That is why we are actively combating counterfeiting and continuously investing in measures, such as these newly introduced container caps, to protect our customers from risks and to strengthen their trust in our brand," said Juri Sudheimer, founder and owner of MANNOL/SCT.
