What ATS Electro-Lube does

ATS Electro-Lube (UK) Ltd is a privately held UK manufacturer of automatic lubrication systems, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Gateshead. The company designs and sells a portfolio of five core self-contained automatic lubricators — the Electro Luber (electro-chemical reaction technology, developed 1982), Ultimate Luber, Titan Oiler, Titan CL Luber, and Jack Luber (microprocessor-controlled motor-driven units) — plus Multi-Point Systems that feed up to 12 lubrication points from a single unit via progressive distributors. All products are ATEX-certified for hazardous environments, produce pressures from 55 to 900 psi, and operate without external power supply.

The company generates revenue through direct hardware sales on a quote-based pricing model, with customers contacting ATS by phone or email for product inquiries, site surveys, and installation support.

Core offering

ATS Electro-Lube designs, manufactures and sells automatic industrial lubricators that deliver continuous grease or oil to machinery without manual intervention. The product range covers the Electro Luber (electro-chemical gas-driven unit), Ultimate Luber, Titan Oiler, Titan CL Luber, Jack Luber (motor-driven microprocessor-controlled units), and Multi-Point System configurations feeding up to 12 lubrication points from a single unit, with operating pressures from 55 psi to 900 psi and dispensing intervals from 15 days to 2 years.

Product overview

ATS Electro-Lube is a manufacturer of automatic lubricators established in the UK since 1992. Their product portfolio centers on five core automatic lubricator products: the Electro Luber (original gas-driven unit from 1982), Ultimate Luber (motor-driven grease lubricator), Titan Oiler (motor-driven oil lubricator with large reservoir), Titan CL Luber (motor-driven cartridge-based grease lubricator), and Jack Luber (versatile cartridge-based unit). All products are fully self-contained, require no external power supply, and can be used with any brand/grade of lubricant. The product line supports multi-point configurations through progressive distributors. Products are ATEX Certified for hazardous environments and are designed for reliability under demanding industrial conditions across water, food, manufacturing, and general industry applications.

Broad incumbents

• SKF (Lincoln Industrial): SKF's Lincoln Industrial division is a global leader in automatic lubrication systems, including single- and multi-point lubricators, grease guns, and centralized lubrication. Directly comparable product category to ATS, but operating as part of a much larger bearings and condition-monitoring conglomerate.
• Graco: Graco manufactures fluid handling equipment including automatic lubrication systems for industrial and commercial markets. Overlapping product category (automatic grease/oil lubricators) but with a much broader fluid-handling portfolio and global distribution.
• Schaeffler Group: Schaeffler (including INA/FAG/INA) offers automatic lubrication solutions under its industrial aftermarket portfolio alongside bearings and linear guidance. Overlaps with ATS in industrial automatic lubricators but is a much broader industrial supplier.

Direct peers

• Vogel (SKF Group): Vogel (now part of SKF) is a specialist in industrial lubrication systems and components, including single-point and multi-point automatic lubricators, oil-mist, and grease lubrication. Strong direct overlap with ATS's product portfolio and customer base.
• DropsA: Italian-headquartered DropsA designs and manufactures automatic lubrication systems including single- and multi-point lubricators, progressive distributors, and centralized systems. Direct product overlap with ATS, especially in multi-point configurations.
• MEMOLUB: MEMOLUB produces electro-mechanical single- and multi-point automatic lubricators for industrial applications. Direct competitor with overlapping target customers (manufacturing, water, general industry) and a comparable product range to ATS.
• Perma (FMP Technology): Perma specializes in single- and multi-point automatic lubrication systems (e.g., PERMA STAR, NOVA) using electro-chemical and gas-generated drive mechanisms. Closest direct comparable to ATS Electro-Luber in product architecture, target applications, and self-contained, no-external-power design philosophy.
• Bijur Delimon International: Bijur Delimon designs and manufactures automatic lubrication systems, including single-point lubricators, multi-point injectors, and centralized lubrication systems. Directly competes with ATS across industrial customer segments with comparable product functionality.

Others

• Simmons Machine Tool Corporation: Simmons provides industrial machinery maintenance and lubrication-related services in niche segments. Adjacent rather than direct: an ecosystem participant with overlapping industrial end-customers but different core offering.

Emerging players

• Steidle GmbH: Steidle is a German specialty manufacturer of automatic lubrication systems and centralized lubrication solutions. Comparable product architecture to ATS, primarily serving European industrial customers.
