Lucas Oil Opens New Grease Plant
September 1, 2024
Lucas Oil hs announced the opening of its expanded grease manufacturing capabilities within its 400,000 sq. ft. production facility in Indiana. The significant enhancement incorporates a new production area dedicated to developing and manufacturing industrial and commercial greases, addressing a national grease shortage that has impacted multiple industries since supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic.
"Bringing a dedicated grease plant online was a strategic decision to increase our production capabilities and have a specialized space that can help increase our output, efficiency and ability to develop more advanced formulations," said Lucas Oil CEO Morgan Lucas. "By investing in the buildout of this facility, we are not just committing to quality; we are embracing the responsibility to boost the industrial sector and the larger economy. This plant allows us to create and deliver superior, reliable industrial greases that can enhance equipment longevity and efficiency, which is crucial for our industrial customers looking to optimize their operations and reduce downtime. Ultimately, this move is about providing a product that stands up to rigorous use and supports a sustainable economic future by improving overall industrial productivity."
The plant is dedicated to manufacturing Lucas Oil's signature greases: Red `N' Tacky, X-Tra Heavy Duty and Marine.
Red `N' Tacky Grease has been reformulated to use calcium sulfonate as a thickener instead of lithium, which offers better performance in several areas.
