The FUCHS Group, a global leader in the lubricants sector, has reinforced its presence in Switzerland with the launch of a new national subsidiary, FUCHS SWISS LUBRICANTS AG. This strategic move integrates the operations of two Swiss lubricant firms acquired in 2024: the Swiss arm of the LUBCON Group and the long-established STRUB & Co. AG, based in Reiden.

By consolidating these two acquisitions under one entity, FUCHS now has a direct and unified foothold in the Swiss market. The new subsidiary is headquartered in Reiden, which will also serve as a key hub for product development and manufacturing.

This integration allows FUCHS to streamline operations, enhance its market visibility, and deliver a full spectrum of lubricants and related services to Swiss customers across diverse industries—all from a single, coordinated platform. The establishment of FUCHS SWISS LUBRICANTS AG reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to localized expertise and global quality standards.

“Switzerland is a country with great innovative strength and promising market segments, such as medical technology, the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries, but also the traditional metalworking industry, which continues to be the heart of Swiss small and medium-sized enterprises,” says Dr. Mario Gehrlein, Managing Director of FUCHS SWISS LUBRICANTS AG. “We see great potential and want to expand our business in the coming years.”

FUCHS SWISS LUBRICANTS AG will employ a total of 40 people as of July 1, 2025.
