Furthering its commitment to “Make in India”, Klüber Lubrication recently announced a ₹142 crore (€15.6 million) investment to expand its Mysore facility. The upgrade includes a new production hall with advanced technology, improved R&D infrastructure, and faster product launches, set to be operational by early 2027.
The Mysore plant has already been pivotal in developing innovative products like Klübersynth LEB 94-81 BH, featuring integrated calcite technology for exceptional load-bearing capability in both high and low temperatures. Additionally, the plant produces ISOFLEX TOPAS L 32 N BH, a flagship product for the automotive sector. The plant has also developed a new range of silicone-based greases that enhance reliability and performance in critical braking systems.
As SUVs gain popularity in India, their larger size and weight place extra pressure on suspension systems, requiring superior lubrication for smooth and reliable performance. Addressing this critical requirement, Klüber Lubrication provides innovative and eco-friendly solutions tailored for these demands. Klüber Lubrication is also revolutionizing electric vehicle (EV) performance with advanced lubricants designed to meet the unique demands of e-mobility.
“SUVs and electric vehicles demand next-level lubrication solutions to tackle their unique challenges. SUVs operate in tough conditions, requiring higher durability and a smooth driving experience under varied stresses, while EVs need solutions that enhance efficiency, ensure reliable performance, and align with the growing focus on sustainable mobility. Our products are meticulously designed to meet and exceed these demands,” said Joseph Robert, Associate General Manager – GBT, India.
Klüber also provides tailored solutions for critical EV systems, such as charging connectors, cooling system actuators, and drivetrain components, enhancing durability and performance under stress. By minimizing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), these lubricants deliver a quieter and more refined driving experience. Committed to sustainability, Klüber’s solutions not only improve energy efficiency but also extend maintenance intervals and component life, supporting greener and more reliable e-mobility.
