1. Analysis
Analysis serves to document your current fleet of vehicles and machinery. This important step allows us to prepare a choice of suitable variants. Analysis is usually carried out locally by our sales representatives or customer support team.
2. Conception
Analysis is followed by the preparation of variants and options. Our goal is to achieve an optimum balance between "required lubricants" and "lubricants actually needed". We provide the customer with a basis for decision making.
3. Selection
It is now up to you to select one of the variants. We remain at your disposal with our expertise for advice and input.
