Exol wins top environmental prize at CAT awards

Exol Lubricants has taken home the ‘Environmental Award’ at the CAT magazine Awards 2024 for its commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainability.

The award ceremony took place at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester on 15 February, where Exol scooped the top prize, beating off competition from other brands in the industry.

Exol is celebrating 40 years of manufacturing lubricants in the UK this year. The company, whose philosophy is “excellence in lubricants” was formed in 1984 and through investment has enjoyed continued growth over its history.

It has invested in several services and equipment at its site in Wednesbury to create a more efficient, economical and environmentally friendly manufacturing facility, which it says ensures customers receive exceptional customer service throughout all areas of business.

Solar panels have been installed at the brand’s headquarters in Wednesbury UK to help cut carbon emissions and save energy costs. Exol has also invested in using the waterways to operate an environmentally friendly vehicle fleet and last year reportedly saw the company invest one million pounds into an automated liquid transfer system, delivered to reduce waste product lost during the blending process.

Steve Dunn, Sales and Marketing Director at Exol Lubricants, says: “We work hard to ensure not only that we are delivering top quality products and excellent customer service, but that we are being the most efficient and environmentally friendly that we can be when it comes to running the business. It was fantastic to receive this Environmental Award, especially as we hit our 40th anniversary this year!”
