Production is concentrated in three wholly-owned blending plants in Hamina (Finland), Vienna (Austria), and Ploiești (Romania), complemented by an in-house grease factory.

The company holds over 150 OEM approvals from leading vehicle and equipment manufacturers and is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949, and ISO 17025, alongside REACH and RoHS compliance. It sells exclusively through B2B channels — a combination of 8 owned branch offices across Austria, Finland, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia, and Sweden, plus an extensive European dealer network — with supporting services including a Lubricant Advisor recommendation tool, a B2B e-commerce platform (LUKON Order Online), technical support, and a datasheets portal. Revenue is generated through finished-lubricant hardware sales, with no public pricing or revenue disclosure.

The business is privately held as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PJSC LUKOIL. Its 101-250 employee European footprint (approximately 150 as of 2019) sells into passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle, and industrial end-markets, with 2024 initiatives including Bag-in-Box sustainable packaging and green electricity / climate-neutral gas at production sites signaling ESG-led product and operational evolution.
