About The Company
FUCHS is a global Group with German roots that develops, produces and distributes lubricants and related specialties.
Founded in 1931 as a family business in Mannheim, FUCHS is now the world's largest independent supplier of innovative lubrication solutions, covering almost every industry and application. Today, the company's 6,000 employees in over 50 countries still share the same goal: to keep the world moving both sustainably and efficiently.
To live up to this claim, we think in terms of perfection, not merely standards. When developing individual solutions, we enter into an intensive customer dialogue – acting as an experienced consultant, innovative problem solver and reliable team partner. The results we provide meet not only the highest technological requirements, but also help customers save on operating costs and emissions. Because at FUCHS, sustainability is not simply an empty phrase, but a mindset - and thus the basis and aspiration of all our business activity.
We have more than 100,000 customers, including companies from the following fields: automotive suppliers, OEM, mining and exploration, metalworking, agriculture and forestry, aerospace, power generation, mechanical engineering, construction and transport, as well as the steel, metal and cement industries, yet also companies in the food industry, the glass production sector and the casting and forging industry – and many others.
Ordinary and preference shares in FUCHS SE are officially traded on both the Frankfurt and Stuttgart stock exchanges. The preference share is a member of MDAX. With over 50% of the ordinary shares, the Fuchs family maintains the majority vote.
