Describe your business model (including type of company, products / services)
CARL BECHEM GMBH, the first German oil factory, was founded in 1834 and today is a leading manufacturer of innovative specialty lubricants and metalworking fluids.
The company focuses on developing and producing high-performance lubricants that are used in almost every industry. The broad product portfolio includes various greases, oils, cooling lubricants, and anti-friction coatings, which are individually produced according to our customers’ needs and challenges. As a solution and application expert, BECHEM also relies on value-adding services to fundamentally optimize the efficiency, effectiveness, resource consumption, and environmental impact of the lubricants and friction points.
The key markets for the specialty lubricants include, among others, the automotive, electromobility, railway, foodstuffs, pharmaceutical, textile, open-cast mining, iron, and steel industries. BECHEM also offers products for specific metal processing applications, such as bulk metal forming, deep drilling, metal cutting, wire drawing, sheet metal forming, and cold extrusion. The range includes both water-miscible and non-water-miscible cooling lubricants for metal cutting, supplemented by cleaners and corrosion protection products. In the wake of rapidly changing requirements, the manufacturing of biolubricants based on renewable raw materials is taking a firm place among the company’s business areas, among other pursuits. In addition to biodegradable lubricants, we especially emphasize product development in substituting traditional, mineral-oil-based products with modern, water-based solutions and lubricant coatings.
BECHEM takes a leading role through innovations in numerous industrial applications, making them the global leader in a few market segments. Innovations such as converting finite mineral oil to viscous water in cooling lubricants are particularly groundbreaking.
Aiming to guarantee the global availability of its products and services, BECHEM has a comprehensive international distribution network that extends to over 70 countries, as well as production sites in China, India, and the USA.
The family-owned business is currently in its sixth generation and has a total of 288 employees at its headquarters in Hagen, 68 in the Gardelegen-Mieste plant, and 22 in the Kierspe plant. All manufacturing processes occur at the three locations in a certified infrastructure.
