Great emphasis is always placed on research and development in the FUCHS Group. The group currently has more than 600 ongoing research and development projects that aim to evaluate the potential of new technologies. These projects are supported by around 400 engineers and scientists at 25 laboratory locations throughout the world. FUCHS attaches great importance to basic research and maintains commitments in interdisciplinary research projects FUCHS has extensive laboratory and simulation capacities. Product developments are accompanied by intensive series of tests. FUCHS is one of the few lubricant manufacturers that performs tests of this kind.
