About Voitländer
Voitländer is a family-run mineral oil plant based in Kronach in Upper Franconia, established in 1843 and today run by the 5th generation. The company develops, produces and sells chemical-technical lubricants, industrial oils, greases, metalworking oils as well as cleaning and care products for industry, trades and private customers. The portfolio includes hydraulic oils, gear oils, machine and lubricating oils, refrigeration machine oils, compressor and turbine oils, mould release and shuttering oils for the ceramics and glass industries as well as for concrete construction, bio-lubricants and special cleaners under the CPM brand. The basis is the selection of high-quality base oils and additives, whose blending, testing and refinement take place entirely at the Kronach site. In the company's own laboratory, every batch is analysed and work is carried out on tailor-made formulations. Products are filled in containers from 5 litres to 1000 litre IBC and distributed via the company's own online shop and directly from the factory. The company supplies more than 2,000 active customers in over 60 countries, including renowned companies in the ceramics industry such as Rosenthal as well as Alboth & Kaiser.
