ADDINOL once again recognised as global market leader

ADDINOL Lube Oil GmbH has been included in the prestigious list of German global market leaders for the eighth time. This confirms our success: Our quality products – particularly in the areas of biogas engine oils, high-performance and high-temperature lubricants, and biodegradable hydraulic oils – have once again consolidated their leading position in the global competition.

The inclusion is part of the annual ranking ‘The 500 Secret World Market Leaders’ published by WirtschaftsWoche magazine in collaboration with the University of St. Gallen (HSG). This means that ADDINOL is once again among the select group of medium-sized companies in Germany that are global leaders in their market segment. The inclusion is a special recognition of our innovative strength and export power.

 

The selection process for inclusion in the ranking is based on scientifically sound criteria. Important aspects include:

• (Owner) management with headquarters located at least 50 % in the DACH region
• Global market: Operations on at least 3 of 6 continents with own production and/or sales companies or export activities
• Annual turnover in millions of euros: at least €50 million.
• Market leader: No. 1 or No. 2 in the relevant global market (segment)
• Export share/foreign share of turnover: at least 50 % of turnover.

Innovative strength as the basis for success

Since the late 1990s, ADDINOL has been setting technological standards in the field of gas engine oils through targeted development work. In close cooperation with MAN, ADDINOL MG 40-Extra Plus was developed, one of the most successful gas engine oils on the market. With state-of-the-art additive technology for natural gas applications and purified special gases, ADDINOL Eco Gas 4000 XD has been continuing this success since 2017. ADDINOL has also set new standards in the field of high-temperature chain oils: with Cliptec XHS 485 FG, the world’s first NSF H1-registered high-temperature chain lubricant with BRÜCKNER approval, the company combines maximum performance with food safety, providing further proof of its innovative strength and market orientation.

With the consistent expansion of our sustainable lubricant solutions, ADDINOL Lube Oil GmbH has taken another step forward in innovation: With the NatureProof series, we have developed, among other things, high-performance biodegradable hydraulic oils that are specially designed for use in ecologically sensitive areas such as water protection areas, forestry and agriculture, or municipal applications, but which demonstrate the performance levels of conventional mineral oil-based products.

The recognition confirms our long-standing strategy of developing and producing tailor-made high-performance and special lubricants in Germany that are used worldwide.
