FUCHS strengthens market presence in Switzerland through intensified trading partnerships The FUCHS Group, which operates globally in the lubricants sector, has been present on the Swiss market for more than 40 years. After FUCHS sold its 50% share in a local joint venture in August 2018, the Swiss market is now being served directly by local trading partners. FUCHS has been able to win three renowned and experienced trading partners for future sales in Switzerland: The lubricant specialist ASEOL SUISSE AG, the LAVEBA cooperative and the chemical-technical heat transfer specialist S. AFFOLTER. FUCHS thus ensures complete market coverage across all customer groups in Switzerland. ASEOL SUISSE AG in Steffisburg will distribute industrial lubricants and lubricants for special applications throughout Switzerland as a trading partner for FUCHS. In addition, ASEOL SUISSE AG will take over the distribution of automotive FUCHS lubricants in Western, Central and Southern Switzerland. The LAVEBA cooperative in St. Gallen takes over the distribution of automotive FUCHS lubricants for Eastern Switzerland. The more than 25 years lasting proven partnership with the company S. AFFOLTER in Schmitten for the distribution of FUCHS refrigeration oils will be continued. Mannheim, December 18, 2019 FUCHS PETROLUB SE Public Relations Friesenheimer Str. 17 68169 Mannheim Tel.
