What Pacific Lubrication Consultants does

Pacific Lubrication Consultants is a privately held Australian specialist distributor founded in 1994 and headquartered in Kirrawee, New South Wales. The company distributes H1-registered food-grade lubricants, lubrication equipment, specialty cleaning products, and industrial lubricants, operating as the Australian agent for Cargo Oil (a European food-grade lubricant manufacturer) and an approved reseller of Lincoln/SKF automatic lubrication systems. Its primary customer base is Australia's food and beverage manufacturers, with secondary service to pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing segments requiring incidental-food-contact safety compliance.

The company's core technology is its portfolio of NSF and 2Probity-certified H1 food-grade lubricants meeting FDA 21 CFR standards, with additional Halal and Kosher certifications. Its proprietary LUBESAFE Food Safety Program is a registered trademark that bundles products, training, oil and grease analysis, automatic lubrication system design and installation, and storage solutions into a HACCP-compliant lubrication system for food processing facilities. The product range spans 40+ SKUs including gear oils, hydraulic oils, chain oils, compressor oils, greases across multiple NLGI grades, and aerosols with operating temperature ranges from -60°C to +270°C.

The business model is B2B direct sales with quote-based pricing, operating through a 7-person team with four regional sales representatives covering NSW, VIC/TAS, QLD/NT, and WA/SA. Revenue is generated through product resale (one-time), equipment sales, and professional services including training and contract lubrication. Distribution is entirely domestic (Australia), with 24/7 phone sales support and a content-driven website serving as the primary marketing channel. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
