We are pleased to announce that Greg Schwartz is joining the AXEL team as the new President for AXEL Americas and AXEL Royal. Greg started with AXEL on May 9 and has spent a period visiting AXEL in Europe, before formally taking charge as President today.
As a leading private label grease supplier in the USA, AXEL has been consistently investing to meet the additional requirements and growing demands of its existing customers in the short and medium term.
Not too long ago, we proudly announced that our AXEL France facility had obtained its official EU Ecolabel Certification….Felicitations! Today, in the spirit of ONE AXEL’s no plant left behind, we are proud to announce that our AXEL Netherland’s facility did the same… Gefeliciteerd!
As a grease manufacturer, we can borrow Shakespeare’s existential ponderings …“To be or not to be?”… and adapt it to our own reality: "To be a grease plant or a greasy plant?"
According to our mission statement: AXEL will be the leading and first choice supplier of customised solutions for the global lubricating grease market. This simply means we have to strive to be the best; a world-class manufacturer who can make a huge difference for our customers, by being a reliable partner and helping them achieve their growth goals.
AXEL is looking for a driven and creative Development Engineer to be part of the Technical Department in Nol, Sweden (25 km North of Gothenburg). The position includes the formulation of new greases, improvements of existing products or production processes, and other tasks supporting the whole AXEL Group.
Electric vehicle motors in e-drivetrains are equipped with grease-lubricated bearings operating at both low and high speeds with frequent speed changes. The grease-bearing system must secure a long lifespan and low frictional torque to improve efficiency and sustainability.
The earlier success of our Calcium soap thickened products triggered ambitious plans at AXEL to provide biodegradable, non-toxic, highly renewable raw material containing Lithium Complex products for versatile applications.
Rail switches are just one example of many applications referred to as total loss lubrication systems meaning that, due to their open design and the exposed conditions of operation, lubricant loss to the surrounding environment is not only highly likely but inevitable.
Conditions in continuous casting test lubrication to the limit. The working temperature of the bearings is 180°C, sometimes rising to 300°C. Heavy loads, dust everywhere, and steam from the cooling water make the challenge even greater. And, as if that wasn’t enough, the bearings are lubricated via a central system with hundreds of metres of pipes – some just a few millimetres in diameter.
