AXEL Royal Tulsa Facility Recovers Swiftly Following Fire Incident

TULSA, OK - AXEL Royal demonstrated exceptional emergency response and operational resilience following a fire at its Tulsa facility. The incident, which occurred at approximately 10:00 AM last Tuesday in the exterior western part of the oil blending unit, was successfully contained and extinguished by 2:00 PM the same day, thanks to the swift action of AXEL team members, the Tulsa Fire Department, and support from Holly Frontier's internal resources.

We are very happy for and proud of Prof. Johan Leckner’s most recent achievement as recipient of the Clarence E. Earle Memorial Award “For an outstanding contribution to the technical literature relating to lubricating greases during the year.”

The award was announced at the NLGI 90th Annual Meeting in San Diego, California.

Congratulations Prof. Leckner!

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.

AXEL has long established itself as a supporter of initiatives aimed at reducing the impact on our environment through its’ focused development of a wide range of environmentally sensitive greases.

AXEL Christiernsson has acquired the operating assets and the majority of other assets of Royal Mfg Co, LP. The business will now be carried forward as AXEL Royal LLC, a subsidiary of AXEL Americas LLC, building on the heritage of Royal Mfg Co, LP as a well-established supplier of lubricating greases and lubes in the US market and abroad.
