Klüber Lubrication shows commitment to Yorkshire

The company has relocated to Pennine  Business Park  as part of its strategic plans to boost growth through additional sales and improved customer service in existing and new markets.

Part of the Freudenberg corporation, Klüber Lubrication GB  is the  world’s leading manufacturer of high quality lubricants supplying manufacturers across diverse sectors including food manufacturing, marine, oil and gas production.

Klüber Lubrication GB has been keen to boost its UK and Ireland offering for some time and the move  will enable the company to embed technical advantage, industry leading product and system development while broadening its customer offer.

The company recently celebrated 40 years in the UK and is determined  to deliver complete lubrication solutions to industry through its highly qualified technical field staff  around the UK supported by the knowledgeable in house support team.   Expanding the team is critical to the business delivering planned and sustainable growth focusing on new markets.

A key area of growth in recent years has been the marine industry  which makes the Yorkshire location ideal  with close proximity to Scotland and the burgeoning East Yorkshire and The Humber region.

Paul Holland, MD Sales & Marketing, said: "The marine sector has been a major growth area for us in recent years and we have invested heavily in the development of a new website specifically for that.  Yorkshire is strategically important to Klüber Lubricaton GB to ensure continued delivery of sales, project implementation and support to new and existing customers around the UK and Ireland.

"The purpose built offices in Huddersfield  will  enable us to implement our own growth plan and marry that with key customer service targets that will underpin our ambitious expansion plans, providing us with room to grow,” he added.

"That naturally means we will have to expand our internal and external team and already we have started a recruitment drive for highly skilled technically astute personnel.

"Klüber Lubrication GB is a company at the cutting edge of industrial solutions, offering pioneering technologies to a diverse range of existing and emerging sectors.  This move allows us to consolidate our brand in existing markets and develop new ones in a sustainable way remaining true to our ethos of high quality, tribiological solutions to all industries and across all sectors.

"The recent launch of Klübertherm HB 88 – 182 is a case in point. A pioneering grease which performs at high temperature and works for both low loads combined with high speeds and high loads combined with low speeds.”

To mark the opening of the new UK headquarters main board directors, Dieter Becker, and Claus Langgartner, Speaker of the Main Board inaugurated the site with well know Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman on July 4.
