Lubricants firm changes its name and appoints Sales Director to reflect the addition of a range of seals to its portfolio.
Soverign Lubricants has changed its name to Sovereign Lubricants and Seals and has recruited a Sales Director with over 20 years experience in the industry.
David Brook joined the company in February 2006 and has a technical background in providing products to solve sealing problems by designing seals and sealing systems bespoke to individual requirements.
Brook is already speaking with the company's major clients to help them solve their sealing and lubrication problems.
The firm has for the past 26 years been the sole UK agent for the Omega range of lubricants.
Steve Chesters, MD of Sovereign Lubricants, said: "The Omega range has enabled us to offer our customers real world solutions to their lubrication problems".
"Not only has Omega reduced the customer's maintenance schedules by out-performing previous products, it also allows the typical maintenance manager more time to maintain other areas of plant because the product last that much longer".
A typical example he said was the Omega 690 gear oil which adheres to the metal surface of the gears in a typical industrial gearbox.
"We have customers who have used this product for over 10 years and still have the original oil in the gearbox", he said.
"This is because it does not drain away or become contaminated like cheaper alternatives, particularly in the food industry where gearboxes are accustomed to being pressure washed thus allowing small amounts of water and moisture to enter into the gears which would in turn contaminate lesser gearbox oils".
Because Omega 690 does not mix with water, any resulting contaminant can be drained off through the gearbox oil port.
As well as providing lubrication, as part of a continued expansion plan, the company has incorporated a range of seals and sealing products into its portfolio.
O rings, hydraulic seals and seal kits, rotating shaft seals, rubber and engineering plastic parts are available from the company.
"We visit a high proportion of our major clients every week".
said Chesters.
"They always ask us for seals to accompany the greases and oils that they purchase from us".
"It seemed a natural progression to enter this market to satisfy demand".
