German lubrication specialist Liqui Moly is fighting back against fakes, with new digital security checks on its products. Oil bottle caps now have individual QR codes printed on them, which buyers can scan online to verify that the product is genuine. Marketing director Marco Esser said: “Counterfeit products cause financial losses, undermine customers’ trust, and in some cases lead to engine damage or even put users’ health at risk. The new, digital check will cut the number of counterfeit products as well as provide certainty for customers.”
