About FUCHS SE

FUCHS SE is a German specialist in lubricants and high-performance lubrication solutions listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX) in Germany. Founded in 1931 in Mannheim as a family business, the group has evolved into the world’s largest independent supplier of lubrication solutions, with operations in more than 50 countries and about 6,000 employees. Its headquarters remain in Mannheim, underscoring a long-standing industrial heritage combined with a globally distributed operating model. ([fuchs.com](https://www.fuchs.com/group/the-company/company/about-fuchs/?utm_source=openai)) FUCHS’ business is built around a broad portfolio of lubricants and related specialty products serving nearly every major industry. The company develops, manufactures and markets engine and transmission oils, greases, metalworking fluids, industrial lubricants, e-mobility-related products, and other customized formulations for demanding applications. This breadth gives FUCHS exposure to automotive, industrial manufacturing, energy, agriculture, construction, transportation and specialty segments, while reducing reliance on any single end market. The company’s value proposition is based on formulation expertise, application know-how and close customer integration rather than volume-only commodity competition. ([fuchs.com](https://www.fuchs.com/group/the-company/company/about-fuchs/?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, FUCHS holds a strong position in industrial and specialty lubricants. It differentiates itself from integrated oil majors through a focused product strategy, local production and technical service capabilities, and a reputation as a leading independent player. This positioning supports customer stickiness and pricing power in selected niches where reliability, performance and regulatory compliance matter more than simple product cost. The company has also used targeted M&A to strengthen its specialty platform: it acquired Boss Lubricants in January 2025 and IRMCO in April 2025, both moves aimed at broadening its application footprint and reinforcing its industrial offerings.

In March 2026, FUCHS reported solid full-year 2025 results, including sales of EUR 3.563 billion, a slight improvement in EBIT, and a proposed 24th consecutive dividend increase, reflecting strong cash generation and financial discipline. Management also guided to around EUR 3.7 billion in sales and around EUR 450 million in EBIT for 2026, while factoring in the consolidation of OPET FUCHS in Turkey. Earlier in 2026, the company said it had made a very good start to the year in a volatile market environment and also presented a new strategy, “FOCUS TO WIN,” ahead of its 100th anniversary.
