FUCHS acquires Boss Lubricants

FUCHS Group has acquired the German lubricants company Boss Lubricants GmbH & Co. KG. This family-run company, based in Germany develops, produces and distributes lubricants that are used in medical technology, safety technology, metalworking and mechanical engineering, among other things. With this acquisition, the FUCHS Group aims to complement its existing specialty business and create new, internationally scalable growth opportunities.

Boss Lubricants, with its development and production site in Albstadt, Germany has so far focused primarily on the German market with a small export share. The company will continue to operate from this site.

From FUCHS’ point of view, the acquisition of Boss Lubricants represents a great opportunity for future development. “Not only are we gaining a team of highly qualified employees with specific know-how in niche areas, but we are also expanding our product portfolio of specialty lubrication solutions,” said Stefan Fuchs, CEO of FUCHS SE. “While metalworking and mechanical engineering are among our long-established areas of expertise, we are particularly looking forward to the addition of further expertise in the future markets of medical and safety technology.”

Boss Lubricants employs 20 people and generated sales of approximately EUR 7 million in fiscal year 2023.
