News from Exol
Exol Lubricants is experiencing a busy year so far after already outlining – and commencing – plans to invest in a number of areas of its business. Most notable is the addition of a new barge, “Exol Pride,” to the North East Waterways, which will transport raw materials from Hull to its bulk blending plant in Rotherham, UK.
Exol has been a long term user of the waterways, leading the oil and lubricants market by using an environmentally friendly option while transporting large loads. The company has been commended for its reduction in carbon footprint and has even featured in a UK television programme, ITV’s Barging about Britain.
Both Exol’s bulk blending plant in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and Head Office in Wednesbury, West Midlands, also in the UK, are ISO-14001 accredited having successfully implemented an effective ‘Integrated Management System’, which focuses on reducing, reusing and recycling waste, as well as using energy efficiently.
At Exol’s Wednesbury HQ, the company has recently introduced an additional 8-head Masterfil filling machine, enhancing the efficiency and production capacity of small pack products. The Adelphi Masterfil machine is specially designed to offer flexibility of filling volumes, handling both low and high viscosity liquids.
More telemetric gauges have also been fitted to existing storage tanks and improvements made to the tank bunds and yard drainage system, emphasising its continued commitment to the environment.
With regards to new products, a fully synthetic, fuel-efficient engine oil, Optima Vimax 0W-20 has been added to Exol’s product range, as well as launching Optima LSF 0W-30, a fully synthetic, low SAPS engine oil.
Meanwhile, Exol’s new generation, fully synthetic, low SAPS (sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur), multigrade engine oil, Optima LSF 0W-30, has been developed in response to the need for a very low viscosity, fuel-efficient engine oil that provides maximum protection, component durability and engine cleanliness throughout the entire oil drain interval.

The company stocks a full range of EP greases for industrial, commercial, agricultural and automotive applications, including Libra 000EP (Z001); Libra 00EP (Z002); Libra 0EP (Z003); Libra EP1 (Z004); Libra EP2 (Z005); Libra EP3 (Z034); and Libra EP2M (Z008) and Blue Complex Grease.
Steve Dunn, Exol Lubricants sales director, said: “Our customers and staff are our main priorities and our capital investment plans for this year reflect that. Our onsite developments will greatly enhance the service we can provide to customers, making it a lot more efficient and cementing our position as one of the fastest growing lubricant companies in the UK.
