FUCHS expands its scope in Africa through aname change
FUCHS SOUTHERN AFRICA has been renamed to FUCHS AFRICA effective from 1st April 2024 to reflect FUCHS’ business activities in SubSaharan Africa and move away from the perception that FUCHS just serves Southern Africa.
The South African business activities will still be carried out by FUCHS LUBRICANTS SOUTH AFRICA.

Paul Deppe, the Managing Director of FUCHS LUBRICANTS SOUTH AFRICA, underscored the importance of the name change as this will encompass the current African business activities and future investments.
“Changing the company’s name to reflect all African businesses is important. FUCHS AFRICA is far more relevant in describing the footprint for which we take business ownership and responsibility. FUCHS AFRICA will be responsible for growing the FUCHS business in all 37 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa,” said Paul Deppe.
FUCHS SE has been present in Africa since FUCHS LUBRICANTS SOUTH AFRICA was established. Across South Africa, a team of more than 200 employees helps clients in agriculture and forestry, automotive, cement, construction, mining, power generation, and the food industry, among other industries. .
