Base oil case stories

Nynas’ strong partnership with one of Greece’s leading lubricant producers has not only shown the region’s customers the benefits of naphthenics over paraffinic oils, but also resulted in significant environmental gains through energy savings.

Azmol British Petrochemicals has been manufacturing lubricants for more than 80 years. After a period of decline, the company’s Berdyansk plant has undergone an extensive modernisation programme and is once again turning its eyes towards the global markets.

With its high focus on R&D, MORESCO Thailand’s partnership with Nynas has shown great success and resulted in a new type of product in the company’s portfolio.

Intent on constantly upgrading their lubrication products, Carl Bechem India needs top quality base oils and reliable ‘just-in-time’ delivery. Naphthenic oils and Nynas deliver on both fronts.

Zeller+Gmelin is renowned for its high-quality industrial lubricants. As the company approaches its 150th anniversary, it is stepping up its partnership with Nynas.

Sotugraisse, located outside Tunis, Tunisia, specializes in the production of grease and lubricants. The company produces a range of different greases and used to only use paraffinic oil in their grease production, but recently made the switch to using Nynas naphthenic oil in some of their products.

With an ambitious plan for increasing its exports, Spanish grease producer Verkol is confident that naphthenic oil will help it to reach new markets, particularly in colder parts of the world.
