LUBRIC8UK – The Future Of Lubricant Distribution

Who are the Lubric 8?

Lubric8UK are a UK-based lubricant purchasing consortium:

Seeking common solutions.
Reducing purchasing costs.
Ensuring supply availability.

Based on recent economic and supply chain uncertainty, the time has come to proactively secure a reliable, sustainable and continuous supply of our core lubricants. This spreads the risks of excessive supply lead times, and reduces unexpected downtime due to supply chain shortfall or unchallenged inflated base prices.

A collaborative group of technical specialists including an Industrial Microbiologist and Chemist, Production planning Master scheduler, Mechanical Engineer, Automotive Engineer, Aerospace Engineer, Commercial Manager in the Industrial fluids market, Paper Industry Supply Chain Manager and a team of specialist buyers in the automotive fluids sector have joined their buying power, sector expertise, market knowledge, and contact databases to create Lubric8UK.
