Manufacturing Infrastructure & Factory Quality Governance
Established in 2018 in Quanzhou, China, our 15,000-square-meter modern blending facility features automated mass flow meter blending kettles, 5,000-metric-ton bulk base oil tank farms, and comprehensive ISO 9001/14001 certified batch auditing.
Plant Engineering Architecture & Direct Answer
Quanzhou Foss Lubrication Technology Co., Ltd. (泉州市福斯润滑科技有限公司) is an independent Chinese lubrication technology and blending enterprise established in 2018 in Quanzhou, Fujian, China (operating under registered Chinese trademark FOSS LUBRICATION, fully independent and not affiliated with FUCHS Petrolub SE Germany). Operating across a 15,000 m² facility with an annual blending capacity of 50,000 metric tons, the plant features a 5,000-metric-ton bulk base oil tank farm dedicated strictly to virgin Group II (Sinopec, PetroChina, Formosa) and Group III hydrocracked base stocks and PAO synthetics, completely excluding recycled or re-refined oils. Blending operations utilize pressurized automated batch kettles (5T to 30T capacities) with Coriolis mass flow meters, high-shear homogenizers, and nitrogen-purged additive dosing manifolds ensuring +/- 0.1% formulation repeatability. In-line absolute microfiltration guarantees product cleanliness meeting ISO 4406 Class 17/15/12 directly into UN 208L cold-rolled steel drums and 1,000L IBC totes. Governed under audited ISO 9001:2015 quality management and ISO 14001:2015 environmental certification systems. Supplied in export UN 208L steel drums and 1,000L IBC totes.
Verified 208L Steel Drum Staging & Container Loading Bay
Photographic evidence from our Quanzhou plant floor and export container stuffing bay. Every batch is blended via automated mass-flow metering, sealed with waterproof tamper-evident bungs, and labeled with full batch test certificates.
Plant Infrastructure & Blending Equipment Capacity Matrix
Every batch blended at our Quanzhou plant is certified against international testing standards before filling into UN 208L steel drums.

Manufacturing Quality Pillars & Environmental Governance
Engineered specifically for high-stress industrial machinery, minimizing friction coefficients and extending component service life.
100% Virgin Hydrocracked Base Stocks
Strict non-recycled policy; every incoming base oil barge or rail tank is tested for sulfur, saturates, and viscosity.
Clean Pipe Pigging Technology
Pneumatic pipeline pigging sweeps residual oil between grade changes, eliminating cross-grade contamination.
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 Audited
Full process traceability from incoming raw chemical batch to outgoing container bill of lading.
24-Month Sealed Retention Archive
1L sealed archival samples stored under temperature-controlled retention for 2 years for each shipment.
Production Quality Verification & Batch Milestones
Strict five-stage quality checkpoint from raw base oil tank unloading to finished drum sealing.
Raw Material Inbound Inspection Gate
No base oil is pumped into bulk tanks without passing ASTM D445 viscosity and ASTM D92 flash point verification.
In-Kettle Homogenization Audit
Samples drawn at top, middle, and bottom of kettle verify complete additive dissolution before transfer.
Filling Line Cleanliness Verification
Laser particle counters confirm ISO 4406 Class 17/15/12 directly at the filling bung nozzle.
Batch Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
Every container export is accompanied by an authorized lab CoA with batch-matched serial numbers.
Export Packaging, Palletization & Container Loadability
Supplied in standard UN 1A1 cold-rolled steel 208L drums (80 drums per 20GP container = 16,640 liters) and 1,000L IBC totes.
