Greater confidence for LIQUI MOLY’s Asian customers
LIQUI MOLY is introducing its new digital test procedure for oils also for its products made in Thailand. An individual QR code on the canister lid allows customers to verify the authenticity of the product in question – in real time.
Since mid-May, LIQUI MOLY has been offering a new digital real-time check. Its oil canisters are equipped with a green framed QR code that cannot be copied. A quick scan is all it takes for customers to immediately verify whether the respective oil is a genuine LIQUI MOLY product. Having rolled out this measurement for made in Germany oils first, this QR code will now also be placed on canisters of LIQUI MOLY’s Special Tec T oil series that is manufactured in Thailand especially for the Asian market.
“Like all lubricant manufacturers, we are constantly faced with the worldwide threat of counterfeit products, and we take legal action whenever possible. The quality of our oils makes them a popular target. Unfortunately, especially in Asia we are confronted with a huge number of counterfeit products. These cause financial losses, undermine customers' trust, as well as, in some cases, they lead to engine damage and can even put users' health at risk,” Roland Braun, Sales Director Asia, explains. “The new digital real-time check intends to cut the number of counterfeit products as well as provide certainty for our business and private customers. We are proud to announce that also our motor oils made in Thailand offer this new security measurement. If it says LIQUI MOLY, products deliver proven LIQUI MOLY quality.”
When scanning the QR code, customers are also provided with further information about the product and its application. If the scan exposes any kind of inconsistency, the code is transferred to the authentication app. In the app, the code is scanned again to clearly verify whether it is a genuine or a counterfeit product. On identifying a counterfeit product, users are taken to a contact form with which they can report the counterfeit product so LIQUI MOLY can take appropriate steps. A specially designed landing page on the LIQUI MOLY website explains the new test procedure in detail.
