Due to an upsurge in product demand,
lubricants manufacturer Metalube has
taken possession of the industrial unit
located adjacent to its current site. This
increases the space available to the
company by more than 70 per cent.
The company now occupies a
one-hectare site, which includes a
2,500m 2 covered factory, warehousing
and office space alongside a brand new
laboratory. Metalube has also purchased
four new Jungheinrich forklift trucks
to service the new and improved site.
Two new blending tanks have also been
purchased, to enhance manufacturing
capability and enable the company to
keep up with increased demand.
Commenting on the new site, commercial
director Douglas Hunt said: “We were
exceptionally fortunate that the site
next door became available as we were
fast outgrowing our existing facility. The
combined sites have blended together
perfectly, giving us a truly outstanding
operations.”
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 has offices in
China, India, Brazil and UAE.
