Lubrication Engineers Inc, a prominent developer and manufacturer of high-performance industrial lubricants and asset reliability solutions, today announced its acquisition of RSC Bio Solutions (RSC), a leading innovator in high-performance, sustainable, and biodegradable lubrication solutions. The acquisition, announced on May 6, signifies LE's commitment to expanding its portfolio with environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs) and further solidifies its position in the global lubricant market.
RSC Bio Solutions brings to LE a comprehensive suite of environmentally responsible lubricants, notably its proprietary FUTERRA and EnviroLogic product lines. These products are globally recognized for their best-in-class lubricant quality coupled with fully biodegradable technology, making them ideal for marine applications and other environmentally sensitive environments worldwide. RSC's expertise allows customers to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements and achieve their environmental stewardship goals without compromising on performance.
Eric Borland, CEO of LE, expressed his enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "RSC Bio Solutions has an impressive portfolio of sustainable products powered by proprietary technologies developed over multiple decades. Together with the employees of RSC Bio Solutions, we are committed to ensuring the continued delivery of high-quality, sustainable products to customers across the globe." This acquisition aligns with the growing global focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility within the industrial and marine sectors.
Mike Guggenheimer, President and CEO of RSC Bio Solutions, also shared his positive outlook on the merger. "We are excited to join forces with LE to expand our capabilities and accelerate our innovation that benefits both our customers and the environment," he said. "We have long admired LE as a leader in our industry, and we look forward to leveraging its robust infrastructure in support of our current and prospective new customers." The synergy between LE's established market presence and RSC's innovative sustainable technologies is expected to create significant opportunities for growth and development.
This acquisition marks LE's second move since its partnership with Aurora Capital Partners in September 2023. This recent activity demonstrates LE's proactive approach to expanding its lubrication expertise, particularly in the areas of advanced synthetic and now, crucial sustainable product offerings. By integrating RSC Bio Solutions, LE significantly enhances its ability to cater to a broader range of customer needs, addressing both performance and environmental considerations.
RSC Bio Solutions has a strong history of developing high-performance lubricants utilizing PAOs and other synthetic hydrocarbon base oils. Their products are known for superior compatibility and stability, distinguishing them from traditional EAL offerings. Furthermore, RSC's deep understanding of highly engineered, renewable base oils enables them to formulate lubricants that not only meet demanding performance standards but also comply with stringent environmental regulations.
