In response to increasing demand for its products and changes to its European manufacturing strategy, Q8 Oils (www.Q8Oils.com) has completed an £80,000 investment at its lubricants blending plant in Leeds. This involved tank conversions, plus the installation of new calibration equipment and a new filling line.

Sales director Gianluca Fenaroli says: “Europe is a core market for Q8 Oils; we want to continue to increase our market share by providing high levels of service and quality products. The UK is key to this growth strategy, particularly at a time when it is emerging from the economic downturn faster than most of Europe.”
