From Diggers to Dumpers: GB Lubricants Ready for Plantworx

GB Lubricants is eagerly anticipating the upcoming Plantworx Exhibition, which takes place between the 23^rd and 25^th September at the Newark Showground in Nottinghamshire. Plantworx is an exciting opportunity for GB Lubricants to showcase the company’s premium quality range of oils, greases and lubricants specifically designed for construction and off-highway vehicles.

These oils, lubricants and greases are specifically developed for the tough conditions and extreme working environments that construction and off-highway vehicles operate in. Covering everything from engine oil, gearbox and transmission oil, hydraulic oil, greases, antifreeze coolants and much more. All these products are suited to a wide range of manufacturers and brands of equipment.

GB Lubricants’ team of technical experts will be on Stand DA-26 to answer construction professionals, operators and engineers’ questions about their off-highway oil, grease and lubricant requirements as well as discuss the latest construction industry updates, the latest OEM approvals and specifications, plus emerging oil & lubricant technologies.

GB Lubricants’ off-highway products help to ensure excavators, diggers, dumpers, ride-on rollers, cranes and a multitude of ancillary equipment, such as diesel generators, pumps and compressors that are pivotal to keeping a construction site operational, stay well maintained, and they don’t let you down when you need them most. Using the correct oils, lubricants and greases from GB Lubricants can help to minimise breakdowns, reduce downtime, lower emissions, and save money.

Amanda Byrne, GB Lubricants Regional Sales & Marketing Manager, commented on the importance of understanding the challenges that those working in the construction and off-highway industries can face: “Meeting customers face-to-face at events like Plantworx is great as it allows us to understand the challenges they are dealing with and discuss what solutions GB Lubricants are able to offer to help them”. 

Amanda continued, “One of GB Lubricants’ main areas of growth in recent years has been the contract manufacturing of oils and lubricants for third-party companies. GB Lubricants has a growing global reputation for being a trusted manufacturing partner for oils & lubricants, with continuous investments and one of the lowest Carbon Footprint sites for lubricant manufacture in the world. This is an area we aim to develop further going forward.”

As well as discussing GB Lubricants’ products, the company will be detailing its mission to be recognised as a global industry leader for sustainability and minimising environmental impact.

Aiming to achieve net zero carbon energy manufacturing by 2030, the company’s long-term mission is to be as sustainable as possible in its purchasing of raw materials, manufacture of products and delivery of finished goods.

The company has a huge commitment to using sustainable operating procedures throughout its manufacturing site, based in Gateshead.  This includes minimising waste, capital investment into new, more efficient production infrastructure, as well as becoming the first private company to connect to green solar-generated electricity and mine water heat provided by an award-winning Gateshead District Energy Scheme. This green electricity and heat are used throughout the production and administration process at the Gateshead site. The company also boasts the highest possible EcoVadis Platinum rating in Sustainability. Having achieved this rating for two years in a row, GB Lubricants now joins the elite top one per cent of companies that are evaluated from the industry worldwide.

As part of this sustainability journey, the company will also be using the Plantworx exhibition as an opportunity to highlight its range of recycled packaging, which features 35% recycled plastic.
