The new range – Metachain –has been formulated using the latest synthetic base oils, anti-oxidants and anti-wear additives to meet the specific demands of chain applications in high-temperature processes where conventional oils fail to perform.
The partnership with Metalube will focus on the whole of Europe including Russia and Turkey.
The Plastic Vision team, which is experienced in international procurement including purchase, production, and logistics, will be led by industry expert Uwe Berghahn, who has over 30 years’ experience within the wood panel industry, working for 10 years for leading manufacturers.
“We are really excited to take Metachain to the European market,” said Mr Berghahn.
“We know that further afield in South America the product is running on some of the world’s largest presses and giving producers significant annual savings in volume reduction alone.”
Metalube’s commercial manager Matthew Buffin said he was confident that Plastic Vision had the depth of knowledge in machine manufacturing to make significant inroads into the European wood Press market.
UK-based Metalube is part of the Bishopdale Group, a private holding company for a group of industrial lubricants brands – Metalube, Molyslip and UOP. It exports 95% of its production to over 90 countries worldwide.
