Lubricants manufacturing facility comissioned in 2016
2016 marks the beginning of our journey with the constuction and comissioning of a lubricants manufacturing facility with an annual capacity of 35,000 mt. The facility was designed, built and comissioned by a team of German, Italian and Russian engineers. It is the largest factory in the Caucasus region in terms of capacity. Having reached maximum operation capacity in 2020 the facility was expanded to produce an annual 50,000 mt.
Quality control and R&D laboratory comissioned in 2018
In 2018, we finished constructing our second, relatively larger and more modern laboratory facility, equipped with the technology to conduct analyses on petro-chemicals and petroleum products to the precision of 1 ppm. The design of this 500 meters squared facility was designed to ensure workplace safety and the well-being of the scientists who work here. All equipment is highly specialised to safeguard personnel and prevent accidents.
Deionised fluids facility comissioned in 2019
In 2019, we constucted and comissioned a de-ionised fluids factory with an annual capacity of 6,000 mt. The facility was designed, built and comissioned by a joint team of German and Turkish engineers. This facility currently operates at maximum output levels, and is dedicated to maufacturing specialty items which are in short supply in international markets.
Blow moulding facility for HDPE canisters in 2020
As part of ALCO’s horizontal integration strategy we consturcted and comissioned a facility to blow mould our own HDPE canisters. This allows greater flexibility in manufacturing, lower costs, shorter lead times, and a higher degree quality control. The facility operates as an individual unit and serves in-house demand as well as other customers.
