LIQUI MOLY continues to grow in 2025
The German automotive chemicals specialist belonging to the Würth Group ended the past year with top results in oil and additive production. LIQUI MOLY’s sales increased by 8 percent. This achievement is rewarded by the management with a bonus of up to 7,000 euros per employee. Three new foreign companies are to be established during the year. And the groundbreaking ceremony will be held for the largest single construction project in the company’s history.
LIQUI MOLY ended an extremely turbulent year, both politically and economically, with an increase in sales of 8 percent. Two thirds of sales are generated abroad. In Germany, even above average growth was achieved.
A result in which the workforce not only has its share, but also participates: “Each of the almost 1,300 employees around the world now receives a bonus of up to 7,000 euros,” says Managing Director Salvatore Coniglio.
119,000 metric tons of oil, 40 million oil containers and 25 million cans of additives mark new production records. “In order to continue to grow, the Saarlouis site is planning to expand its production capacity to 160,000 metric tons of oil. In 2026, we’ll be implementing it step by step,” says Managing Director Dr Uli Weller. On January 1, 2026, Meguin GmbH & Co. KG Mineralölwerke became LIQUI MOLY Produktions GmbH & Co. KG. “This is merely a change of name for the 100 percent subsidiary.”
Additional production capacities will also be created at the company headquarters in Ulm through additional filling lines, automation and digitalization.
In the future, the majority of the produced goods will be stored in a new logistics center in northern Ulm. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for 2026. “The largest construction project in the company’s history will greatly improve our logistics processes. It is the key to greater competitiveness, even higher customer satisfaction and an essential component of our growth strategy,” summarizes Managing Director Günter Hiermaier.
Further internationalization is also part of the growth strategy. “This year, we will establish foreign companies in China, Switzerland and Turkey. We have been active in these countries for many years, but we want to penetrate the markets better and exploit the existing potential better,” says Salvatore Coniglio
