GB Lubricants

General information

Established in 1877 as Goodall Bates & Todd Ltd, GB Lubricants continues the same traditions, which have maintained the success of the business in the demanding lubricant market of today. The business remains family-owned and - managed, operating from its original base in Gateshead in the North East of England. However, our service and delivery now extends nationwide. Our blend of success has been based upon building lasting partnerships with our customers and our mission is to strive to understand and meet the needs of your business. We will work closely with you to optimise product selection, minimise waste, reduce inventories and help you manage your business more effectively and reliably.

Blending: GB Lubricants are one of the oldest specialist blending operations in the UK and are able to provide a complete range of synthetic, semi-synthetic, biodegradable and mineral-based lubricants in-line with the very latest standards and specifications.

We boast a flexible manufacturing and warehouse facility with dedicated filling lines which are subject to continuous re-investment and evaluation.
