“For decades, IRMCO has grown and adapted to the ever-changing demands of the manufacturing markets, and we have always met and exceeded our customer’s quality, regulatory and safety standards through our advanced lubricant technologies. Integrating with FUCHS will further our reach of products to the metal forming, assembly, cleaning, and finishing markets through the global FUCHS network,” comments Jeff Jeffery, CEO at IRMCO.
“At FUCHS, we are focused on improving the reliability, productivity, and profitability of our customer’s operations through product and process optimization. The acquisition of IRMCO will further reinforce our position as leading lubrication solutions provider to the industrial segment,” comments Keith Brewer, CEO of FUCHS Americas.
