Rymax Lubricants’ route into a specialized future

In the world of lubricants, where precision, performance and reliability are key, Dutch manufacturer Rymax Lubricants has set out on a newsworthy path. Since its founding in 1986, the company stands for innovation: embracing challenges as a guide to their improvement. Over the years, Rymax Lubricants has evolved from small beginnings to a global force with representation in almost 60 countries. Rymax Lubricants show that pursuing excellence goes very well together with the strong commitment to build trust and joy to professionals and consumers working with their valued machinery daily.

Foundations of excellence

Founded in 1986, Rymax Lubricants set out to become a specialist in lubrication. From the onset, their philosophy was clear: improve by challenge. This approach, rooted in the belief that the toughest tests are the greatest teachers, drove Rymax to keep innovating, focus on quality and to become a specialist in lubrication solutions.

From offering conventional but highly demanded SAE 50 engine oil, to developing complex full synthetic blends, Rymax’s commitment to improvement is evident. Every challenge is an opportunity to learn, adapt, and enhance formulations. This commitment filtered through to their partners, across the globe. It was this trust in quality and performance that allowed Rymax to be successful in a very competitive market.

Eyes on the future: navigating specialized segments

As the landscape of lubricants continues to evolve, Rymax Lubricants has its finger on the pulse. With a big focus on the valued existing business, the company also prepares for a shift towards more niche, specialized segments—a future where lubrication requirements will go beyond conventional machinery. In sectors like cement, power generation, and the food-grade industry, the demand for specialized lubrication is rapidly growing, while for example in Europe, more traditional segments like Passenger Car will drastically decline, due to the arrival of hybridand EV-vehicles.

“We see the future of lubricants shift towards more niche, specialized segments,” Mr. Erik Vermeer, Commercial Director, and Shareholder at Rymax Lubricants, emphasizes. “Segments such as cement, power generation, and foodgrade demand precision and reliability like never before. We have been lining up for this and we are ready to venture into these emerging segments. But at the same time, we continue to embrace, develop and innovate our current business.”

Where purity meets performance

Among the emerging segments, the journey into food-grade lubricants is particularly interesting. In an era of increased awareness about food safety, these lubricants play an essential role in ensuring the integrity of food processing machinery. It’s a segment where purity, precision and performance interact.

Food-grade lubricants, as Krishna Kumar Orakkan, Product Manager at Rymax explains, “are specifically formulated to meet rigorous standards set by regulatory bodies like National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and the demands for Halal and Kosher. These lubricants must not only ensure optimal machinery performance but also guarantee that in case of any contact, they won’t compromise the quality and Impressions of the Rymax Lubricants factory in The Netherlands.

The technical complexities of food-grade lubricants involve a delicate balance between lubrication effectiveness and the stringent requirements of food safety. Rymax Lubricants took on this challenge, ambitiously formulating solutions that met all these criteria. The result is a range of NSF-approved food-grade lubricants that industry professionals can trust without a doubt. These products also build further on the principles of Rymax’ ECO-line which focuses on standards like biodegradability and fuel-economy. Again, Rymax Lubricants launches on the African continent, bringing new, sought-after lubricant solutions to a rapidly developing industry.

Unity in diversity

Rymax Lubricants’ journey isn’t just about products; it’s about partnerships. The company is very proud of their family of like-minded distributors who share their vision of excellence and innovation. This network of distributors extends the company’s reach, ensuring that professionals and consumers across the globe have access to the same level of quality and reliability.

“We’re not just suppliers; we’re partners,” Mr. Erik Vermeer emphasizes. “Our distributors are an extension of our commitment to trust and joy in machinery. They understand that our lubricants aren’t just about performance; they’re about connections, building confidence, and facilitating success.”

A glimpse of tomorrow

As Rymax Lubricants looks to the future, their journey is the proof that perseverance, constant innovation and focus on quality pays-off. From their beginnings in basic lubrication to their ventures into sophisticated synthetic blends, industrial solutions, and food-grade formulations, they have consistently embodied their philosophy to “improve by challenge.” safety of the food being processed while ensuring the best quality for the expensive equipment.”
