QUALITY, RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT LABORATORY

We have extensive experience in carrying out analysis, testing and interpreting results. We offer our clients physicochemical tests for:

OILS

GREASES

ANTIFREEZE

Our main strength lies in the skills of the personnel involved.

Lubricantes de América S.A. de C.V.’s laboratory focuses on analytical support, quality control, and R&D for the lubricants sector in most of its branches (automotive, hydraulic, gear, transmission, dielectric, etc.); as well as for lubricating greases, antifreeze, and additives for the automotive industry. This allows us to monitor the quality of the products produced, always seeking the satisfaction of our clients.

✓ We started operations in 1956.

✓ We are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.

✓ Accredited by EMA (Mexican Accreditation Entity, A.C).

Our commitment includes monitoring our clients’ various lubrication systems, providing technical support to ensure that the decision-making process for the lubrication system is optimal; thus allowing our clients to minimize costly repairs and downtime, alerting them to small failures before they become large and costly problems.
