Laboratory expansion for Metalube
SPECIALIST lubricant manufacturer Metalube is to more than double the size of its laboratory facilities at its Manchester,
UK, headquarters.
Already an award-winning innovator, the company plans to considerably increase its laboratory capacity to 126m². The new
fully equipped facility will be used for both quality control and research and development.
Chris Nettleship, technical director,
said: “We create the best possible
lubricants available in the market
and our laboratory team plays a
huge part in this.
“We have in recent times increased
the number of chemists within
Metalube by 25 per cent. We can
now give them an outstanding 21st
century laboratory to work from.”
The new space will be purpose built
and fitted with the latest specialist
laboratory furniture. It will meet all
the requirements for a modern day
lubricant developer.
Metalube manufactures a range of
non-ferrous drawing oils and maintenance lubricants as well as a variety of corrosion protection and forming oils. The
experienced exporter employs 34 people and has offices in China, India and Brazil.
