Core offering

ITELYUM (operating as Itelyum Regeneration) regenerates used lubricating oils into high-performance regenerated base oils (Group I+ and Group II+) via high-pressure catalytic hydrogenation at its plants in Pieve Fissiraga and Ceccano, Italy. It sells these base oils in bulk to major global lubricant manufacturers for use in formulating automotive and industrial lubricants, and offers complementary solvent purification and environmental services. The company also runs innovation initiatives in rare earths recovery, bio-based products, and PET chemical recycling.

Product overview

Itelyum is a platform of environmental and industrial services centered on oil and solvent regeneration. The core offering consists of Basi Lubrificanti Gruppo I+ and Basi Lubrificanti Gruppo II+ — regenerated lubricating base oils produced through advanced high-pressure catalytic hydrogenation processes at the company's facilities in Pieve Fissiraga and Ceccano, Italy. These products are used by major lubrication industries worldwide. The portfolio is organized around three main divisions: Regeneration (oil regeneration, solvent purification), Environmental Services, and Innovation (rare earths recovery, bio-based products, PET chemical recycling). The regeneration process achieves a 95% transformation rate of treated lubricating oil into products, purified water, or valorized materials, while generating 70% less CO2 emissions compared to primary production.

Direct peers

• Heritage-Crystal Clean: Heritage-Crystal Clean operates one of the largest used oil re-refining facilities in North America (the Indianopolis, IL plant) producing Group II base oils — a direct functional analogue to Itelyum's regenerated Group I+/II+ bases.
• Safety-Kleen (Clean Harbors): Safety-Kleen, now part of Clean Harbors, is one of the largest collectors and re-refiners of used lubricating oils in North America, directly comparable to Itelyum Regeneration's core business of transforming waste oils into high-quality base oils via re-refining.
• Avista Oil: Avista Oil is a leading European re-refiner of used lubricating oils into base oils, headquartered in Germany — the most direct geographic and product competitor to Itelyum Regeneration in the European re-refined base oil market.
• Slicker Recycling: Slicker Recycling is one of the UK's largest used oil collectors and re-refiners, producing base oils for lubricant manufacturers — a functional re-refining peer across European markets.
• RRG Umwelt: RRG Umwelt is an Austrian/German market participant in used oil collection and regeneration, comparable to Itelyum's downstream and environmental services activity as part of a circular value chain.
• Vertex Energy: Vertex Energy operates a re-refinery at its Marrero, LA site producing Group II base oils from used motor oil, making it a direct US-based competitor with similar rerefining process technology and customer base.
• Puralube: Puralube operates a used oil re-refining plant in Germany producing high-quality base oils via hydrofinishing — closely comparable in process and product to Itelyum's Italian regeneration operations.

Broad incumbents

• Fuchs Petrolub: Fuchs is the world's largest independent lubricants specialist and a major buyer of base oils — a key Itelyum customer-side incumbent whose formulation decisions shape demand for re-refined Group II+ inputs.
• Shell Lubricants: Shell Lubricants is the largest global finished lubricants player and operates integrated base oil production; while vertically integrated, its blenders overlap as buyers of base oils and as a circular-economy competitor offering rerefined options.
• TotalEnergies Lubricants: TotalEnergies' lubricants division is a major European blender and customer of base oils; it has publicly partnered on rerefining initiatives, making it both a buyer and a strategic circular-economy competitor for Itelyum.
