DEX QM PREMIUM LUBRICANTS

What DEX QM PREMIUM LUBRICANTS does

DEX QM Premium Lubricants, legally Dex Oil BV, is a Netherlands-headquartered (Nieuwegein) specialty lubricants company founded in 2022 that sells a portfolio of six fuel-saving and friction-reducing lubricants built on its proprietary DEX QM Technology. The technology is a four-phase process in which premium base oils are selected, enhanced at the molecular level via DEX QM chemistry (carbon chains binding with activated DEX QM spheres into tightly packed globules), blended with OEM-specification additives through partner Transnational Blenders, and finished into a double-blended product that creates an ultra-thin elastic moving layer between contacting surfaces to drastically reduce friction. The portfolio covers engine oils (DEX QM Motor), industrial gear oils (DEX QM Gear), hydraulic systems (DEX QM Hydraulic), environmentally acceptable stern tube lubricants (DEX QM EAL, including the AEGIR-approved STERN TUBE EAL 100), racing engine oils (DEX QM Race), and customer-specific formulations (DEX QM Special).

The company primarily serves enterprise customers in the maritime/shipping industry (engine, gearbox, hydraulic, and stern tube lubrication including EAL requirements) and heavy-duty commercial vehicle fleet operators, with secondary segments in wind energy gearbox lubrication and motorsports. Go-to-market is sales-led: direct enterprise sales supported by a network of regional agents (e.g., Leo Voogd), technical demonstrations, and third-party certifications (RINA, DNV, Green Award Incentive Provider status, AEGIR Marine EAL approval) that validate fuel, CO2, and NOx reduction claims. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of lubricants with non-public pricing, channel revenue shared with agents and the Transnational Blenders production partner. Customer logos and revenue figures are not disclosed in public material; the company currently operates with approximately 6 employees and no disclosed institutional funding.
