Lubricant specialist Metalube’s subsidiary in
Brazil has received regulatory approval from
Agência Nacional do Petróleo (ANP) for all its
lubricant products.
ANP is the Brazilian government agency
that issues licences for all chemical products
manufactured both inside Brazil and also
imported. Now that Metalube Brazil has the
ANP license it will be able to market products
to end user clients in the wire drawing and
non-ferrous tube industries in Brazil.
General manager Ricardo Neves manages
the company’s Brazilian operation.
Ricardo has worked in the lubricant
industry for the past 15 years with ITW
Rocol in São Paulo state.
Commercial director Douglas Hunt said:
“We started our application process
for this licence over a year ago and are
thrilled to now be able to launch and sell
our products into such an exciting market
place. We will be heavily focusing our
efforts on Brazil to enable the business to
flourish and develop.”
Mr Neves added: “We know there is
fantastic potential for all the Metalube
range across Brazil.
“Our superior-performance lubricants
deliver exceptional quality and we hope
our new Brazilian customers will reap many
rewards from the benefits they deliver.”
Metalube is a UK-based manufacturer of
specialist industrial lubricants, exporting to
over 80 countries worldwide. Research and
development is key to its business and the
company constantly invests in its technology
centre based at its Manchester factory, ensuring
