Rock Oil has started work on a major redevelopment of its manufacturing site in Warrington, Cheshire.
The project will provide a new research and development centre, and Rock says the 10,000sq.ft building will house “one of the finest independent laboratories in the country and staff across technical, sales, marketing and senior management”.
It adds: “With more than £1 million worth of technical equipment, the facility will be at the cutting edge of the lubricants industry.”
Rock Oil says it is one of the few remaining blenders of lubricants still manufacturing in the UK and has worked with multiple British and world champions across various motorsport disciplines. The brand is currently the official lubricant partner of British Superbikes, which is the biggest domestic motorcycle race series in the world.
A company spokesman said: “Rock Oil is synonymous with quality and performance and the new R&D centre will ensure we continue to produce the very best lubricants possible for future champions.”
