Supplier for grease lubrication systems Lincoln Lubrication South Africa has relocated its operations, owing to the group’s significant growth.

The company has moved premises from Alberton North to Gosforth Park, in Germiston, Johannesburg.

Lincoln Lubrication South Africa sales and marketing director Patrick Sandker says that the company’s growth is in relation to the number of employees, the company’s turnover and an expansion in its product range and offering.

He adds that the growth can largely be attributed to the value-added services that the company offers in the industrial and mining markets.

“The move has been eagerly anticipated, stemming from the group’s growth over the past few years. The new 800 m2 of office space and 2 000 m2 of workshop space will enable Lincoln Lubrication South Africa to streamline service requirements and turnaround times,” he states.

The new location was chosen for its close proximity to the highways, as well as a spacious, modern industrial park.

Sandker notes that the company will continue to provide customers with asset protection management products and services, adding that, despite economic challenges and the weakening of the rand, Lincoln Lubrication South Africa will continue to grow the business.

“We are pleased to have acquired the space to accommodate our expanding operation. The new facility provides our employees and customers with a comfortable environment in which professional business can be conducted,” he says.

Lincoln Lubrication South Africa has recently undertaken high-profile projects for diversified resources group Exxaro and steel producer ArcelorMittal South Africa, installing efficient lubrication systems for the companies.
