Leading synthetic lubricant manufacturer Anderol has officially opened an office in Guangzhou, China. The new office will help to support emerging and established companies in Greater China, the fastest growing manufacturing sector in the world, with high-performance synthetic lubricants that are proven to add life to industrial equipment and operations. This investment strengthens Anderol's ongoing commitment to affording its customers with innovative lubricant solutions and best-in-class technical expertise for air compression, aviation, food and beverage, military, mining, oil and gas, and power generation applications.

'With China quickly becoming the epicentre of the manufacturing world, the need for advanced specialty lubricants is increasing at a rapid pace', says John A Pannucci, COO and General Manager, Anderol 'Our lubricants will provide these budding businesses with enhanced equipment reliability, reduced operating costs, and increased productivity'.

'We look forward to partnering with Chinese companies and helping them add life to their operations'.

Located in Yian Plaza, Anderol's new office provides technical and sales support for its Anderol, Bio Guard, Royal, Royco and PQ branded products.

Anderol will locally warehouse its lubricant portfolio and is also investigating opportunities to add full manufacturing capabilities to Greater China.

Francis Hou, Anderol's former International Sales Manager for China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, has been named General Manager for Greater China.

Hou has been with Anderol for the last three years and brings an additional 17 years of industry experience to his new position.

Hou is currently supported by a staff of three sales engineers, a technical service manager and a customer service representative.

The Guangzhou office complements Anderol's corporate headquarters in East Hanover, New Jersey as well as the company's international offices in Canada, the Netherlands, Italy and Japan
