In this issue of Industrial Process News, we are pleased to feature Certas Lubricant Solutions as our Lubricant Solutions Company of the Month.
As part of Certas Energy, which has a long-established history in fuel and lubricant distribution, Certas Lubricant Solutions is the leading independent distributor of premium lubricants in the UK, with a dedicated Services & Solutions division.
Headquartered in Warrington, Certas Lubricant Solutions operates nationwide, providing customers with a comprehensive range of lubricants from leading global brands, along with support services – including site surveys, training, technical assistance, equipment supply, and fluid condition monitoring – delivered with dedicated on-site resources.
“We pride ourselves in being more than just a traditional lubricants distributor,” said Mark Powell, Director of Services & Solutions – Certas Lubricant Solutions. “Our goal is to keep our customers’ operations running efficiently and reliably. We support every sector and industry that relies on lubrication – covering machinery, equipment and transport. From manufacturing, engineering, and food production to aerospace, energy (traditional and renewable), transport, agriculture, construction, marine, and offshore, our team includes dedicated specialists for each sector. We provide tailored products and technical expertise to meet the unique demands of every industry we serve.”
One of its latest services launched has been their Training Academy, offering accredited courses from Apprenticeship training, through to full lubrication and reliability qualifications.
The Training Academy has marked a major step in supporting industry professionals with the knowledge and skills needed for effective lubrication management. This expert-led training platform is designed to upskill maintenance teams, engineers, and operations staff through a mix of theoretical and practical modules. Covering topics such as lubricant selection, application techniques, storage and handling, and condition monitoring, the Academy promotes best practices that enhance equipment reliability and operational efficiency. By investing in workforce development, the Training Academy helps organisations build internal expertise and drive long-term maintenance success.
“We’re also expanding our fluid condition monitoring services and technical support offerings to help customers move towards more proactive and efficient maintenance strategies. Our tagline is: The Home of Fluid Thinking. This reflects our commitment to be the best-in-class lubrication, services and solutions provider, whose technical expertise is trusted to identify and supply the right lubricant, every time,” added Mark.
From fleet operators and maintenance teams to production lines, health and safety managers, and beyond, Certas serves a diverse customer base with products and solutions proven to enhance performance, reduce downtime and costs, and optimise equipment efficiency.
We asked Mark, what other benefits do their products offer clients that their competitors do not, “As an independent distributor, we offer unbiased access to leading global lubricant brands, enabling us to recommend the right product for each customers’ need and application. Our added-value services, nationwide reach, and sector-specific knowledge set us apart – helping customers improve performance, reduce downtime, extend equipment life, and increase sustainability.”
With decades of experience supplying premium lubricants across a wide range of industries, Certas understands the unique challenges businesses face in maintaining smooth and efficient operations. This deep understanding is reflected in their on-site services, which provide tailored support to help organisations optimise lubrication strategies and maximise equipment reliability.
These services include in-depth lubrication audits to uncover areas for improvement, real-time condition monitoring to assess lubricant and machinery health, and the development of proactive maintenance programmes designed to prevent issues before they arise. Delivered by skilled engineers, each service is customised to the specific needs of the facility – reducing downtime, extending asset life, and improving overall maintenance efficiency. It’s a practical, hands-on approach to smarter, data-driven maintenance that delivers long-term operational and cost-saving benefits.
Furthermore, their equipment solutions are designed to support every stage of lubricant management – from secure storage and precise dispensing to advanced condition monitoring. These solutions enable businesses to streamline lubrication practices, reduce contamination risks, and ensure the right product is applied in the right amount, at the right time. By incorporating condition monitoring tools, users gain valuable insights into lubricant health and equipment performance, enabling predictive maintenance and reducing unplanned downtime. This integrated approach enhances operational efficiency, extends equipment life, and supports a more proactive and sustainable maintenance strategy.
Look forward, we asked Mark what plans the company have for the future, “We are continually investing in our people, infrastructure, and services. Our focus is on sustainable growth, developing our technical offering, and supporting customers through the energy transition by offering lubricants and solutions to increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact.”
“We’re not just a distributor – we’re a strategic partner. Whether it’s reducing operating costs, improving efficiency, or achieving sustainability goals, Certas Lubricant Solutions is here to help customers navigate the challenges of today and tomorrow.”
