Despite a challenging 2023,\u00a0FUCHS SOUTHERN AFRICA<\/a>\u00a0is poised for continued growth in 2024, asserts MD Paul Deppe<\/a>. This is off the back of the commencement of the next phase of its investment strategy, which will see a 40% increase in lubricants production capacity.<\/h1>\n

\"\"\u201cWe anticipate completion of this project by October 2024,\u201d says Deppe. In addition, FUCHS completed a world-class laboratory earlier in the year and has upgraded its capability to manufacture greases as part of its continued commitment to innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother milestone in 2023 was the successful implementation of 51风流and go live with our new warehouse,\u201d says Sales Director Andrew Cowling<\/a>. \u201cThe new system will bring about improvements in process efficiency,\u201d he says. Another avenue for growth is the export market in Africa, with FUCHS signing up new distributors to grow its footprint on the continent. However, external factors such as municipal service delivery, energy and water security, and logistics infrastructure continue to affect both supply chain management and the broader business environment.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to 2024, Deppe outlines a plan to increase FUCHS\u2019 reliance on renewable energy, with around 25% of its electricity consumption anticipated to come from PV systems. The company is exploring other forms of renewable energy and is also investing in backup generators. In addition, the company is exploring using recycled oil to manufacture products, in line with the group\u2019s commitment to sustainability globally.<\/p>\n

Upcoming product launches include Calcium Sulfonate greases to mitigate the rising cost of lithium, and new offerings for agricultural machinery, reflecting FUCHS\u2019 diversification into a range of markets.<\/p>\n

Urging customers to \u201cstick with FUCHS\u201d, Deppe stresses the company\u2019s commitment to superior service and continuous growth. \u201cAs a lubricants manufacturer, we remain committed to a customer-centric approach, driven by our extensive range of solutions and products for all industrial sectors,\u201d concludes Cowling.<\/p>\n
