Knowing what is important

What drives the automotive industry is change

and development.

With each new generation of vehicles and new engine

concepts come enormous innovations in terms of
comfort, security and environmental compatibility.
Optimised engines always achieve better performance.

The construction of modern vehicles is becoming

increasingly complex because of their electrical and
electronic components.

At the same time the permanent pressure to make

savings in weight requires the selection of new ma-
terials and smaller system components with improved
quality and functional reliability.

BECHEMs strategy is to offer automobile customers a Lubrication solutions for demanding requirements:
global partnership in the fields of lubricant develop-
n Reduction of friction and wear
ment and production to ensure that these are always
n Durability and functional reliability
tailored to the latest requirements.
n Material compatibility

Thanks to the latest physicochemical testing and n Noise reduction

analytical systems, we are able to develop customised n Environmental compatibility

high-performance lubricants that fully meet our n Wide service temperature range

customers requirements and help significantly reduce n Corrosion protection

their development cycles.
