FUCHS strengthens its presence in Türkiye with the complete takeover of the joint venture OPET FUCHS

Mannheim/Germany, February 5, 2026 – The FUCHS Group, which operates globally in the lubricants industry, has signed an agreement to acquire OPET’s 50% stake in the OPET FUCHS joint venture, which is headquartered in Istanbul, Türkiye. Thus, FUCHS will hold 100% of the company's shares in future, and it will operate under the name FUCHS LUBRICANTS TÜRKIYE. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of April 2026.

The aim of the acquisition is to further strengthen FUCHS' market position in Türkiye. “The Turkish market is of great strategic importance to us due to its market size, industrial base, and growth prospects,” explains Dr. Ralph Rheinboldt, Member of the FUCHS Executive Board responsible for the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa). Türkiye plays a central role for FUCHS in the industrial, OEM, mining, and automotive aftermarket sectors. “With the complete takeover, we will be able to implement strategic decisions more quickly and consistently, enabling us to make better use of growth opportunities,” says Rheinboldt.

The OPET FUCHS joint venture was originally founded in 2005, initially focusing exclusively on industrial business. OPET itself is owned in equal parts – 50% each – by the Öztürk family and the KOC Group, Türkiye’s largest industrial and services group. In 2011, the joint venture expanded to include the automotive lubricants business and has offered a full range of lubricants since then. A new plant was built in Aliaga (Izmir) in 2019. Extensive FUCHS know-how has been incorporated into the construction and operation of the plant with state-of-the-art laboratory and production capacities based on the Group's global expertise with numerous production sites worldwide.

“Thanks to our close connection to the KOC Group, we benefit today from both strong process and digitalization expertise as well as from a well-established, trusted customer base. With the acquisition of the remaining shares in the company, we will be able to more closely integrate the Turkish subsidiary into the FUCHS Group and further strengthen our proximity to customers," says Christian Ohligmacher, Regional Vice President Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East & Türkiye. Even after the takeover, the previous joint venture partners intend to continue their long-standing commercial partnership.

The company employs around 250 people and expects to generate revenue of approximately EUR 100 million in the current financial year.

About FUCHS
Founded in 1931 as a family business in Mannheim, FUCHS is now the world's largest independent supplier of innovative lubrication solutions, covering almost every industry and application. Today, the company's 6,800 employees in over 50 countries still share the same goal: to keep the world moving both sustainably and efficiently. To live up to this claim, FUCHS thinks in terms of perfection, not merely standards. When developing individual solutions, FUCHS enters into an intensive customer dialogue – acting as an experienced consultant, innovative problem solver and reliable team partner. In 2024, the high-tech company generated revenue of EUR 3.5 billion with 42 production sites and 71 operating companies.

Solid earnings development in the third quarter

• Sales revenues increase by EUR 34 million or 1% to EUR 2,700 million in the first nine months of 2025, thanks to organic and external growth
• Despite the difficult market environment and negative currency effects, EBIT reaches EUR 326 million, EUR 8 million or 2% below the strong figure for the previous year
• Earnings in the third quarter significantly above those in the second quarter, which were depressed by tariff policies, and slightly above the peak in the prior year’s quarter
• Outlook adjustment made in July confirmed

(1) By company location

“In the third quarter, we slightly exceeded our peak EBIT figure for the same quarter of the previous year. This represents a significant improvement on the second quarter. In addition to targeted cost-avoidance measures, this positive development was primarily due to a substantial improvement in earnings in North and South America compared with the previous quarter. The weak economic environment continues to impact the region, but the effects of an unfavorable product portfolio mix have weakened over the past three months. The Asia-Pacific region is still performing extremely well with a further increase in earnings, and the EMEA region remains at the high level of the previous year.

Despite a persistently challenging economic environment and negative currency effects, we succeeded in further expanding our business and slightly increasing our sales revenues year over year to EUR2,700 million in the first nine months, not only through acquisitions but also organically. Our solid performance in the third quarter enabled us to narrow the difference in EBIT with respect to the previous year. In the first nine months of the current year, FUCHS generated EBIT of EUR326 million, which corresponds to a decline of EUR8 million or 2% compared to the strong figure for the previous year.

Future economic developments in general, and consequently our future business performance, remain subject to a high degree of uncertainty and are difficult to predict. Despite all the unfavourabilities, our results to date make us confident of achieving the full year 2025 EBIT at the same high level as last year, confirming the outlook we made in July.”

Stefan Fuchs, Chairman of the Executive Board FUCHS SE

Business development in the group

In the first nine months of 2025, FUCHS generated sales revenues of EUR 2,700 million (2,666). Despite a persistently challenging market environment and negative currency effects, sales revenues increased by 1% year over year, driven by external growth and business expansion. EBIT reached EUR 326 million (334), falling short of the strong prior-year figure by EUR 8 million or 2%, as the increase in sales revenues was not sufficient to offset the higher costs. The EBIT margin at 12.1% (12.5), was below the previous year’s level. Earnings after tax amounted to EUR 228 million (235), also below the prior-year figure. Earnings per ordinary share were EUR 1.73 (1.78) and EUR 1.74 (1.79) per preference share. Free cash flow before acquisitions totaled EUR 181 million (194), 7% below the previous year's level.

Business development in the regions

Sales revenues in the region Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) amounted to EUR 1,556 million (1,544) slightly exceeding the previous year by 1% or EUR 12 million. External growth compensated for organic declines. Germany continued to face pressure due to a challenging economic environment and weak automotive manufacturing market, as did other European countries. In contrast, South Africa maintained its positive development. External growth of EUR 34 million resulted from the acquisitions of LUBCON and STRUB in the second half of 2024 and the takeover of BOSS at the beginning of the current financial year. EBIT in the region reached EUR 170 million (168), up 1% year over year. Minor currency effects balanced out and had no significant impact on the EMEA region.

Sales revenues in the Asia-Pacific region rose by 3% to EUR 763 million (739), primarily driven by strong growth in China and positive developments in India and Australia. The region continued its positive trend from previous months. Currency effects had a negative impact on sales revenues, amounting to EUR 31 million. EBIT increased significantly by 17% to EUR 102 million (87).

In the North and South America region, sales revenues rose by 2% to EUR 521 million (511), supported by business growth in a challenging market environment. External growth of EUR 7 million was amongst others generated through the acquisition of a long-standing distribution partner in Peru in the beginning of the financial year and the April acquisition of IRMCO, a specialist in metal forming lubricant solutions. Significant negative currency effects impacted both North and South America, totaling EUR 21 million. EBIT fell by around 20% to EUR 57 million (71). In the third quarter, the earnings recovered significantly thanks to an improved product mix. South America continues to face a difficult economic environment.

Confirmation of the 2025 outlook adjusted in July

In its latest outlook published in October, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) slightly raised its summer forecast by 0.2 percentage points, and now expects global economic growth of 3.2% (2.8) for the current year. By contrast, Germany is still expected to experience widespread stagnation or, at best, slight growth of 0.2%.

FUCHS therefore continues to operate in a challenging environment. Restrained demand from key customer groups due to tariff discussions originating in the U.S., subdued industrial production in Europe, and ongoing geopolitical tensions are increasing uncertainty. We currently expect the weak overall economic situation to continue in the remaining months of the year.

Based on business performance in the first nine months, we confirm our outlook as adjusted in July:

• Sales revenues: at previous year´s level (EUR 3,525 million)
• EBIT: at previous year’s level (EUR 434 million)
• FVA: at previous year’s level (EUR 245 million)
• Free cash flow before acquisitions: around EUR 260 million

Our global positioning and financial base remain robust, and we continue to focus on profitable growth.

Important note

This press release contains statements about future developments that are based on assumptions and estimates by the management of FUCHS SE. Even if the management is of the opinion that these assumptions and estimates are accurate, actual future developments and results can differ significantly from these assumptions and estimates due to a variety of factors. These factors can, for example, include changes in the overall economic climate, changes in procurement prices, changes in exchange rates and interest rates, and changes within the lubricants industry. FUCHS SE provides no guarantee that future developments and the results actually achieved in the future will match the assumptions and estimates set out in this press release and assumes no liability for such.

FUCHS sets new standards in sustainability with certified Product Carbon Footprint tool
 

Mannheim/Germany, October 14, 2025 – The FUCHS Group, which operates globally in the lubricants sector, has introduced a groundbreaking milestone in sustainability: a certified, automated tool for transparent calculation of the product carbon footprint (PCF), which is already available in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and China and will soon be offered to FUCHS customers worldwide to support them in areas such as emissions reporting and sustainability initiatives.

The product carbon footprint reflects the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product and is available for FUCHS products such as lubricants, greases, and other functional fluids. The PCF calculation tool, developed on the basis of industry-specific guidelines and independently certified by TÜV Rheinland, quickly and efficiently records these emissions, providing consistent PCF values and valuable insights that help customers reliably calculate their environmental impact.

For years, FUCHS had actively supported the European lubricant industry associations UEIL and ATIEL in developing a uniform PCF methodology that could serve as a guideline for the entire lubricant industry. “FUCHS is one of the first companies in the lubricant industry to offer PCFs on a large scale, calculated using a certified tool,” explains Mathieu Boulandet, CTO and member of the Executive Board of FUCHS SE. “Providing clear, repeatable key figures on the carbon footprint of our products is crucial for our customers and partners when it comes to making strategic, data-driven decisions.” FUCHS aims to use the new tool to support them in calculating and compiling their own legally required emissions reports as well as in voluntary sustainability initiatives.

The PCF initiative is more than just a tool: “Only with a high level of transparency can real progress be made in the area of sustainability and new standards set for the industry,” explains Markus Garb, Vice President Sustainability and Chief Sustainability Officer at FUCHS.

On its path to becoming a net-zero company, FUCHS has been investing heavily in research and development, defossilization, and innovative solutions for years. “Our products enable our processing customers to achieve greater sustainability, both ecologically and economically. FUCHS lubrication solutions enable machines and processes in almost all industries and areas of application to run much more efficiently and conserve resources. This extends the service life of machines and reduces emissions, for example,” says Mathieu Boulandet.

FUCHS takes over its long-standing Swiss distribution partner ASEOL SUISSE AG and further expands market presence

Mannheim/Germany, October 8, 2025 – The FUCHS Group, which operates globally in the lubricants industry, is acquiring its long-standing distribution partner ASEOL SUISSE AG. The company will be merged with the existing subsidiary FUCHS SWISS LUBRICANTS AG in the course of 2025.

The activities of the Swiss subsidiary of the LUBCON Group, which was acquired in 2024, and the lubricant specialist STRUB & Co. AG, which was also acquired in 2024, were merged into FUCHS SWISS LUBRICANTS AG in June 2025. The company employs around 40 people and serves the traditional metalworking industry, as well as other market segments such as medical technology, the automotive industry, and the semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries. The headquarters remain in Reiden in the canton of Lucerne and also serve as a development and production site.

With the latest transaction, FUCHS intends to further expand its presence in the Swiss market and realize its growth plans here. The signing of the purchase agreement and the transfer of ownership took place on October 7, 2025. "The acquisition of ASEOL, a lubricants expert in the industrial sector with a high level of competence, will enable us to bundle all Swiss activities under one roof, benefit from synergy effects and strengthen our proximity to customers," explained Dr. Mario Gehrlein, Managing Director of FUCHS SWISS LUBRICANTS AG. "With the planned integration of the largest long-standing Swiss FUCHS sales partner into FUCHS SWISS LUBRICANTS AG, we are creating a uniform market presence and are able to offer our customers and partners a comprehensive product and service portfolio for a wide range of industries from a single source."

1. By company location

“After a satisfactory first quarter with EBIT at the same level as the strong previous year, the second quarter, particularly June, fell short of our expectations. Nevertheless, in the first half of the year we were able to continue growing our business contrary to general market trends. Our sales revenues increased not only due to acquisitions but also organically by a total of EUR 40 million or 2% to EUR1,804 million. Unfavourable mix changes in the U.S. and economic pressures resulting from tariff policies, weighed on the North and South America region. The additional sales revenues generated within the Group and the improved earnings in the Asia-Pacific region were not sufficient to offset these earnings shortfalls, nor the primarily acquisition- and inflation-driven cost increases. As a result, EBIT for the first half of the year fell by EUR 9 million to EUR 209 million year-on-year.

The current economic and geopolitical situation remains tense. Tariff discussions originating from the U.S. and weak industrial production in Europe result in subdued demand from key customer groups. Against this backdrop, we have adjusted our outlook for the full year. We now expect sales revenues to be on par with the previous year. EBIT expectations have been revised downward by 6%, meaning we strive for repeating last year’s peak level.

We continue to see ourselves well positioned and are currently working at full speed on our FUCHS100 strategic program to drive further profitable growth in the future.”

Stefan Fuchs, Chairman of the Executive Board FUCHS SE

Business development in the group

In the first six months of 2025, FUCHS generated sales revenues of EUR 1,804 million (1,764), which were 2% above the prior-year period due to positive business development and external growth.
EBIT decreased by EUR 9 million or 4% to EUR 209 million (218) year-on-year, due to inflation-driven cost increases and unfavorable mix changes in the North and South America region. The EBIT margin at 11.6% (12.4) was below the previous year.
Earnings after tax at EUR 144 million (155) were below the previous year's level.
Earnings per ordinary share amounted to EUR 1.09 (1.17) and EUR 1.10 (1.18) per preference share.
Free cash flow before acquisitions was at EUR 81 million (69), 17% above the previous year's level.

Business development in the regions

Sales revenues in the region Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) of EUR 1,039 million (1,027) increased by 1% year-on-year, primarily driven by external growth. Germany saw a decline in sales revenues amid a difficult economic environment and a subdued automotive market. Other European regions also fell short of the previous year. South Africa, however, recorded encouraging gains. External growth of EUR 27 million resulted from the acquisitions of LUBCON and STRUB in the second half of 2024 and the takeover of BOSS at the beginning of the current financial year. EBIT of EUR 109 million (112) was 3% below the strong prior-year level.

Sales revenues in the Asia-Pacific region of EUR 506 million (485) increased by 4% year-on-year, due to gains in the specialty business in China and the positive business development in India and Australia. EBIT of EUR 64 million (55) was 16% above the strong previous year. This earnings improvement was mainly driven by growth in China. Australia, India, and Vietnam also showed a positive development.

Sales revenues in the North- and South America region of EUR 350 million (341) increased by 3% year-on-year, due to business growth. External growth of EUR 5 million was amongst others generated through the acquisition of a long-standing distribution partner in Peru in the beginning of the financial year and the April acquisition of IRMCO, a U.S.-based specialist in metal forming lubricant solutions. Sales revenues growth in the region could not offset mix changes and cost increases. Thus, EBIT decreased by 26% to EUR 35 million (47). South America continues to face a challenging economic environment.

Outlook for 2025 adjusted

In its latest July outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has slightly revised its April forecast. For the current year, the IMF now expects global economic growth of 3.0% (2.8). For Germany, the IMF now anticipates slight growth of 0.1%, after previously forecasting stagnation. The slight upward revision is attributed to frontloading effects in anticipation of higher tariffs.

FUCHS continues to operate in a challenging environment. The restrained demand from key customer groups due to tariff discussions originating in the U.S., subdued industrial production in Europe, and ongoing geopolitical tensions are increasing uncertainty. We currently assume that the weak global economic situation will continue into the second half of the year.

Accordingly, we have adjusted our full-year outlook as follows:

• Sales revenues: at previous year´s level (EUR 3,525 million); previously: around EUR 3.7 billion
• EBIT: at previous year’s level (EUR 434 million); previously: around EUR 460 million
• FVA: at previous year’s level (EUR 245 million); previously: around EUR 260 million
• Free cash flow before acquisitions: around EUR 260 million (unchanged)

Our global track record and solid financial base remain robust, and FUCHS continues to focus on profitable growth.

Important note

This press release contains statements about future developments that are based on assumptions and estimates by the management of FUCHS SE. Even if the management is of the opinion that these assumptions and estimates are accurate, actual future developments and results can differ significantly from these assumptions and estimates due to a variety of factors. These factors can, for example, include changes in the overall economic climate, changes in procurement prices, changes in exchange rates and interest rates, and changes within the lubricants industry. FUCHS SE provides no guarantee that future developments and the results actually achieved in the future will match the assumptions and estimates set out in this press release and assumes no liability for such.

Preliminary results for the first half year and adjustment of outlook 2025

Based on preliminary figures, FUCHS Group expects sales of €1,804 million (H1 2024: €1,764 million) and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of €209 million (H1 2024: €218 million) for the first half year 2025. Therefore, preliminary EBIT for the second quarter 2025 with €101 million (Q2 2024: €111 million) is below the consensus for the second quarter 2025 (€112 million).

For the financial year 2025, FUCHS now expects sales and EBIT on previous year’s level (financial year 2024: Sales at €3,525 million, EBIT at €434 million). The previous outlook for 2025 expected sales at around €3.7 billion and EBIT at around €460 million. Consensus for the financial year 2025 stands at
€3,660 million for sales and at €459 million for EBIT.

The adjustment of the outlook results from a continued muted demand of relevant customer groups due to tariff discussions triggered by the US, slow industrial production in Europe as well as from ongoing geopolitical tensions. FUCHS currently expects the overall weak economic environment to continue in the second half of 2025.

The half-year financial statement 2025 will be published on July 31, 2025.

From medium-sized company to global player: FUCHS celebrates 40 years of stock market listing

Mannheim/Germany, July 1, 2025 – On January 30, 1985, FUCHS listed its shares for trading and official listing on the Frankfurt and Stuttgart stock exchanges. Since then, the company has developed from a German medium-sized business into a global player. Today, FUCHS is the world's largest independent lubricant manufacturer with a market capitalization of around 5 billion euros. On June 30, 2025, the company celebrated its 40th anniversary on the stock exchange with a festive bell ringing ceremony on the trading floor of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

In addition to the entrepreneurial family, the Executive Board, and the Supervisory Board, former members of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board were also invited. Dr. Manfred Fuchs, who shaped the company for 41 years as CEO in the second generation, and Dr. Gerhard Vogel, the former CFO, two key pioneers of the 1985 IPO, were personally present at the celebration – a special moment in the history of FUCHS.

Four decades of growth and continuity
This significant event represents four decades of growth and success achieved together. Since going public, FUCHS has generated profits every year, continuously paid an annual dividend, and shared its success with its shareholders. Overall, the Group has increased its dividend for 23 consecutive years – longer than any other listed company in Germany. FUCHS is thus well on its way to becoming Germany's only “dividend aristocrat” with 25 consecutive dividend increases.

Long-term commitment to sustainable value creation
"This exceptional continuity demonstrates our long-term commitment to sustainable value creation. We are proud to always keep both the requirements of the capital market and the principles of good corporate governance in equal focus. We have proven that these are not contradictory. Our independent supervisory board plays a central role in this and contributes significantly to our successful governance. The Fuchs family guarantees the independence of our company and thus protects it against takeovers," says Stefan Fuchs, CEO of FUCHS SE.

"With its financial stability, continuous cash generation, and reliable dividend policy, the FUCHS Group has a convincing track record on the capital market. Over the past 23 years, shareholders have benefited from an average annual dividend increase of 13 percent for FUCHS preferred shares. We are delighted about this milestone and are very confident that we will be able to continue and further expand the positive development of the company in the future," adds Dr. Christoph Loos, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of FUCHS SE.

The new subsidiary FUCHS SWISS LUBRICANTS AG now combines the activities of the Swiss subsidiary of the LUBCON Group, which was acquired in 2024, and the lubricant specialist STRUB & Co.

1. By company location

“In a turbulent economic environment, we were able to build on the strong results of the previous year in the first three months of 2025 and increased our EBIT by EUR 1 million to EUR 108 million compared to the same quarter last year. Our sales revenues were 5% higher than last year thanks to business expansion and external growth. Once again, we benefited from our broad geographical positioning. Regarding the earnings development, China continued its positive development and started strongly into the year, which enabled a significant earnings increase in the Asia-Pacific region, offsetting a slightly weaker performance in EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa).
With our strong, largely independently operating regional centers in Europe, China and the USA, we believe we are optimally positioned in the current trade dispute, with manageable direct impacts on our sales. The extent to which further escalation will affect the global economy – and consequently us – remains difficult to estimate. We see diverse growth potential, but due to economic conditions, we continue to navigate cautiously. Our business model, with a global presence close to our customers and a very broad industry and customer mix, strengthens our confidence. Therefore, we confirm our outlook for the full year with an EBIT of around EUR 460 million.”

Stefan Fuchs, Chairman of the Executive Board FUCHS SE

Business development in the group
In the first three months of 2025, FUCHS generated sales revenues of EUR 924 million (877), which were 5% above the prior-year period due to positive business development and the contribution of acquisitions.
EBIT improved by EUR 1 million or 1% to EUR 108 million (107) compared to the strong three months of the previous year. At 11.7% (12.2), the EBIT margin was below the previous year. The decline in the EBIT margin is traced back by temporarily higher other functional costs, which are related, among other things, to the acquisitions made and the one-time startup costs for large customer business.
Earnings after tax remained at the previous year's level of EUR 77 million (77). Earnings per ordinary share and per preference share each increased by EUR 0.01 or 2% to EUR 0.59 (0.58). Free cash flow before acquisitions at EUR 17 million (15), above the previous year's level.

Business development in the regions
At EUR 522 million (511), sales revenues in the region Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) were 2% higher compared to the first three months of 2024, primarily driven by external growth. Whereas organic sales revenues development in Europe remained slightly behind the strong previous year’s quarter, South Africa recorded pleasing growth. External growth of EUR 14 million was generated through the acquisitions of LUBCON and STRUB in the second half of 2024 and BOSS, at the beginning of the current financial year. EBIT, on the contrary, was EUR 52 million (54), 4% below the strong first quarter of 2024. Whereas most countries had a subdued start to the year, South Africa continued its upward trend.
Sales revenues in the region Asia-Pacific were EUR 264 million, 8% above the previous year's quarter (245) due to positive business development in China. India and Australia also achieved growth. EBIT increased significantly by EUR 4 million to EUR 33 million (29). This was mainly driven by the continued positive development in China, as well as positive developments in India and Vietnam.
Sales revenues in the region North- and South America were EUR 183 million, 10% above the previous year (167) due to business growth. External growth of EUR 2 million was achieved, among other things, through the long-term trading partner in Peru, acquired in January. EBIT of EUR 21 million (21) was at the previous year's level. While North America benefited from continued positive development in Mexico, the challenging economic environment in South America persisted and weighed on the overall region.

Outlook for 2025 confirmed
As a result of US President Trump’s tariff policy, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised its January forecast downward by 0.5 percentage points in its current outlook and now expects global economic growth of only 2.8% (3.3) for the current year. For Germany, the IMF anticipates stagnation.

The impact of the geopolitical situation and of the trade conflict on global economy remain complex and difficult to assess. However, based on its stable business model, FUCHS confirms its existing forecast for the full year 2025:

• Sales revenues: around EUR 3.7 billion
• EBIT: around EUR 460 million
• FVA: around EUR 260 million
• Free cash flow before acquisitions: around EUR 260 million

The company’s global positioning and solid financial base remains robust. FUCHS continues to focus on profitable growth and the further implementation of FUCHS 2025.

FUCHS acquires IRMCO_® - Manufacturer of metal forming lubricants

Mannheim/Germany, April 2, 2025 – On April 1, the FUCHS Group, which operates globally in the lubricants industry acquired the US lubricants company IRMCO_® Advanced Metalforming Lubricant Technologies, a manufacturer of metal-forming lubricants for demanding manufacturing processes. The family-run company is based out of Illinois and was founded in 1914, bringing over a century of innovation and expertise to FUCHS. With this acquisition, FUCHS aims to further expand its industrial product portfolio, offering sustainable lubrication solutions across multiple markets.

“For decades, IRMCO has grown and adapted to the ever-changing demands of the manufacturing markets, and we have always met and exceeded our customer’s quality, regulatory and safety standards through our advanced lubricant technologies. Integrating with FUCHS will further our reach of products to the metal forming, assembly, cleaning, and finishing markets through the global FUCHS network,” comments Jeff Jeffery, CEO at IRMCO.

“At FUCHS, we are focused on improving the reliability, productivity, and profitability of our customer’s operations through product and process optimization. The acquisition of IRMCO will further reinforce our position as leading lubrication solutions provider to the industrial segment,” comments Keith Brewer, CEO of FUCHS Americas.
