Lubricant & grease formulation
consultancy for Germany manufacturers.

Independent lubricant, grease and additive formulation R&D for German and DACH blenders, OEM suppliers and industrial buyers — DIN, ACEA and OEM-spec products, with full formulation IP transferred to you.

Serving Germany and the DACH region

Independent formulation R&D,
engineered for Germany.

Germany’s market is defined by OEM approvals and DIN/ACEA rigour — from VW/BMW/Mercedes engine-oil sequences to FVA/DIN industrial gear oils. Lubechem develops ACEA C-series low-SAPS oils, DIN 51517 CLP gear oils and high-performance greases engineered to those exacting specifications.

  • Founded 2010 by Er. Manoj Kumar, chemical engineer — 500+ formulations
  • Fully independent of Lubrizol, Afton, Infineum & Oronite
  • Full BOM, ASTM/IP test data & IP transfer — you own the formula
  • Remote-first delivery worldwide, on-site where needed

Why Lubechem

An independent R&D partner
— not an additive reseller.

When an additive company offers “formulation support”, it is limited to its own range. Lubechem designs from individual components across multiple suppliers, so Germany clients get the right formulation at minimum cost — and own it independently.

About Lubechem & our founder →   Annual R&D partnership →

  • Chemistry-first, hands-on senior formulator access
  • 10–25% lower additive treat cost vs commercial packages
  • Full formula transparency — you own the IP
  • Also: bio-lubricants & EV / specialty fluids
FAQ — Germany

Common questions.

Do you work with lubricant manufacturers in Germany?
Yes. Lubechem Consultant works with blenders, private-label brands and industrial buyers in Germany and worldwide. Engagements run remotely (video, email, WhatsApp) with on-site support as needed, and every formulation is delivered with full IP transfer.
Which standards do you formulate to for the Germany market?
We formulate to ACEA and DIN standards with FZG/micropitting performance in mind, and support OEM-sequence documentation for the German market. We lead with international API, ACEA, ISO and SAE standards so your products are accepted across markets, not just one.
Are you independent of additive suppliers like Lubrizol, Afton and Infineum?
Yes — that independence is our core advantage. We design additive packages from individual components across multiple suppliers, so you get the right chemistry at the best cost and own the formulation outright, with no single-source lock-in.
Can you help a new Germany brand from formula to finished product?
Yes. We cover the full journey: formulation, bill of materials, ASTM/IP testing, regulatory documentation, plant/lab setup and troubleshooting — then transfer the complete IP so the product is yours.
