BASF enters engine coolant market in North America with premium Glysantin brand
September 20 2019 - 10:00AM
BASF will introduce its Glysantin® branded engine coolant products
to the North American automotive industry in January 2020. Since
1929, Glysantin premium engine coolants and antifreeze products
have been serving the industry worldwide. The products offer
threefold engine protection against corrosion, overheating and
frost – ensuring that the engine’s cooling system works smoothly
all year round.
“North America is the most important automotive coolants market
in the world, and our local production and presence will be a
differentiator for our customers,” said Brian Lieberman, Vice
President, Fuel and Lubricant Solutions, BASF. “Capital investments
at our production site in Cincinnati are underway, adding to our
global footprint, which includes sites in Europe, Asia and South
America.”
BASF’s plant in Cincinnati produces esters and synthetic
lubricants for the agricultural, transmission fluid, gear and axle
lubricant and aviation lubricant markets. The vast technical
expertise and production know-how offered by BASF’s operations team
is complemented by the site’s location in North America, which
provides easy access to raw materials and key customers.
Since Glysantin products have the most approvals by automotive
manufacturers, BASF will primarily focus on supplying factory fills
for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). For the service fill
segment and aftermarket in North America, BASF will partner with
Old World Industries (OWI) – the number one antifreeze and engine
coolant supplier in the U.S. OWI will offer BASF’s Glysantin
products under its various brands, including its PEAK® brand, and
leverage its extended distribution network to supply dealerships
and retail locations.
