Expanding our footprint in North America

BECHEM has been present in North America since 1999. The company founded BECHEM Lubrication Technology in the U.S. in 2014 and has been steadily expanding in Mexico since 2017 and in Canada since 2025. Until now, BECHEM partnered with local contract manufacturers in the US. With the acquisition of CLC Lubricants, the company is reaching the next level and establishing its own production capacities in the North American market.

Stronger presence, greater opportunities

This acquisition strengthens BECHEM’s position in the North American market, adds local production expertise, and enhances supply chains and service offerings. In addition, the local presence enables even closer customer proximity and improved service across North America.
