Introduction

Fuchs Petrolub SE was founded as a family company in Germany in 1931 and now has 55 branches in 45 countries around the world. Their Head Office is in Mannheim, Germany and the company is listed on the German Prime Standard (MDAX) stock exchange with a sales turnover in 2014 of €1.8 billion 2014. Fuchs is the largest independent lubricants company out of 590 independents in the world and is currently the 9th largest lubricants manufacturer among major oil and petroleum companies. 

Fuchs Southern Africa (FSA) is the largest manufacturer of lubricants in Southern Africa with a blending plant based in Isando, Gauteng. It is responsible for the distribution of Fuchs products throughout Sub Saharan Africa. We import approximately 90% of our base oil requirements via our global purchasing division to ensure a consistent supply of high-quality base oil which is stored in our dedicated storage tanks at Island View in Durban. 

Our oil and grease blending plant has the capacity to manufacture both mineral and full synthetic oils and greases, and a state-of-the-art laboratory to ensure that the highest international quality levels are maintained.

Our TITAN range of automotive products is blended to meet the most stringent requirements of the world’s major manufacturers of petrol, heavy-duty diesel engines, generators, gearboxes and automatic transmissions, and carries numerous OEM approvals (See list below).

In addition, we have retained many of the well-known Wm Penn branded products as a cost-effective alternative for older vehicles. The Silkolene range caters specifically for motorcycle of every make and description, from the high-performance super bike, down to the most rugged quad bike and scooter.
