The USA brings high-performance industrial oils closer to the regional industry

We are excited to share with you the latest strategic initiative from the AXA Trade Lubricants team: we have signed a major strategic partnership with Ergon, Inc. – USA, one of the most respected global producers of industrial oils. After more than 20 years of building lubrication solutions for the regional industry together with you, we are now taking an important step to offer you easier access to some of the most high-performing industrial oils in the world.

A regional perspective on this strategic partnership

Every day we see how our clients in sectors such as the chemical industry, metal processing, or mining are looking for industrial oils that can withstand the most demanding equipment operating conditions. That’s why, together with Ergon, Inc. – USA, we set out to build a bridge between next-generation lubrication solutions and our deep knowledge of the local market.

As a certified master distributor for Ergon, Inc. – USA industrial oils, we can now provide faster and more accurate responses to the operational challenges you face at your plant or production line. Our vision is simple: to deliver not only high-quality industrial oils but also the expertise we have gained, enabling you to maximize the performance of your technological equipment.

What the partnership with Ergon, Inc. – USA adds to our portfolio

Through our collaboration with Ergon, Inc. – USA, we have integrated two flagship product ranges into our offering, designed to support industrial operations that demand precision and continuity:

HyPrene – the ideal solution for rubber and elastomer processing:

• Essential in the manufacturing of tires, conveyor belts, and rubber components
• Formulated to withstand extreme temperatures, protect equipment, and ensure the quality of finished products
• Safe for applications involving indirect food contact (such as packaging production)
• Contributes significantly to reducing wear and extending the service life of production lines

HyVolt – specially designed for high-power transformers and electrical equipment:

• Plays a crucial role in insulating transformer components
• Prevents failures and ensures stable energy distribution in industrial electrical grids
• High resistance to degradation, minimizing the risk of malfunctions
• The optimal solution for plants and operations requiring continuous power supply

How to benefit from this partnership

We’ve always viewed our collaborations as long-term partnerships based on mutual trust. Now, through the alliance with Ergon, Inc., we’re building even stronger relationships with you:

• Faster access to top-quality industrial oils: We understand the specifics of the local market and the challenges you face. We can now help you adopt elite lubrication solutions from Ergon, Inc. and deliver exactly the products you need, when you need them.
• Technical support and a proactive team: We don’t just offer industrial oils—we provide expert consulting to help you integrate them effectively into your production processes.
• Tailored solutions for any technological challenge: We know that each industrial process has its own particularities. With an extended portfolio of industrial oils, we can now respond more precisely to your specific operational needs.
• Partner, not just supplier: Our goal is to anticipate operational challenges and provide solutions that go beyond the simple act of product delivery.

Industrial sectors where we can make a difference together

The strategic partnership with Ergon, Inc. allows us to expand our presence across multiple industries and sectors, adding value through specialized solutions tailored to each type of technology.

In the agrochemical industry, the specialized lubricants we now offer help reduce the risk of contamination. Pumps, mixers, and dosing systems used in fertilizer and pesticide production require lubricants with exceptional chemical stability that can operate in corrosive environments without compromising the purity of the final product. Our products extend the service life of these sensitive systems by up to 40% under the right conditions.

For packaging manufacturers, our lubricants play a key role in the extrusion and molding processes of plastic materials, ensuring stable temperatures and controlled viscosity—critical factors for avoiding interruptions and maintaining efficient production. The HyPrene compounds we now distribute are certified for use in equipment with indirect food contact, ensuring complete safety in the production of packaging for the food industry—an increasingly important aspect under current European regulations.

The railway sector now benefits from access to lubricants that operate under extreme conditions (braking systems, bogies, coupling mechanisms), where reliability is not just about efficiency, but also public safety. We’ve observed that our clients in this sector reduce scheduled maintenance operations by around 25% after implementing our customized solutions, saving time and resources.

In heavy machinery operations, where shocks, vibrations, and extreme loads are a challenge, we now offer lubricants that remain stable even under the most demanding operating conditions. For excavators, bulldozers, and mining equipment, maintenance costs are high, but clients who have implemented our lubrication solutions report up to a 30% reduction in downtime.

For polymer manufacturing, the HyPrene compounds we now supply are essential ingredients for the performance of elastomers and plastic materials. These lubricants not only facilitate the production process but become integral components of the final products, directly influencing elasticity, wear resistance, and high-temperature behavior. Quality control and consistent formulation are crucial here, and our partnership with Ergon, Inc. allows us to offer products with tightly controlled and consistent specifications.

In electrical transformer operation, HyVolt oils provide substantial benefits in insulating and efficiently cooling these vital components of the energy infrastructure. The superior oxidative stability of these products means fewer maintenance interventions and extended service life for transformers. At a time when electrical grids are under increasing strain—or even under attack—our lubricants directly contribute to the reliability of energy grids in Central and Eastern Europe.

In each of these areas, we position ourselves as strategic partners of Ergon, Inc., understanding not just the chemical composition of lubricants, but also the specific industrial processes in which they play a key role. Our two decades of technical expertise enable us to ensure the availability of Ergon, Inc. products throughout the region, through an agile approach focused on adaptability and efficiency.

The next step in our strategic partnership with Ergon, Inc.

This partnership with Ergon, Inc. – USA marks a new chapter in our collaboration with clients. By combining over two decades of experience in Central and Eastern Europe with the cutting-edge technology of the world’s largest naphthenic oil producer, we can now offer you more than just lubrication products—we offer end-to-end solutions based on a deep understanding of your industrial processes.

In today’s technological landscape, where optimizing operational costs and maximizing equipment lifespan have become top priorities, we are proposing a closer collaboration—based on customized technical evaluations and easy access to the most innovative industrial oils.

We’re excited to explore with you the opportunities this strategic partnership with Ergon, Inc. unlocks and invite you to discover how these elite industrial oils can transform your business performance.
