Lubrication Engineers has acquired Southwestern Petroleum Lubricants (“SWEPCO”) from an affiliate of DalFort Capital Partners. This is Lubrication Engineers’ third acquisition in 2025.
Founded in 1933, SWEPCO offers a full line of specialty greases and lubricating oils for diversified industrial and food-grade applications. In addition to its flagship calcium sulfonate grease solutions, SWEPCO has a broad portfolio of branded and private label gear oils, industrial oils, engine oils, and other mission-critical lubricating products. Its products incorporate SWEPCO’s proprietary additives and are sold worldwide directly by SWEPCO as well as through its leading network of third-party distribution partners.
“SWEPCO’s highly engineered solutions, technological expertise, and leading manufacturing capabilities are highly complementary additions to LE,” said
Eric Borland, CEO of Lubrication Engineers. “Like LE, SWEPCO has a 70-plus-year legacy of chemical innovation and commitment to asset reliability, and we are thrilled to work together to better serve our customers. LE is also pleased to now offer in-house calcium sulfonate grease manufacturing capabilities and further expand our global distribution footprint.”
“This partnership is a clear win for LE, SWEPCO and our respective end users, distribution partners, and suppliers,” added Craig Foster, CEO of SWEPCO. “LE’s long-standing leadership in industrial lubrication makes it the ideal steward to continue our legacy of innovation and excellence. We are excited to build on SWEPCO’s foundation to accelerate product innovation and enhance customer experience and equipment reliability.”
LE has been a portfolio company of Aurora Capital Partners since September 2023. During this time, LE has dramatically expanded its lubrication expertise with powerful new mineral, synthetic and sustainable product offerings.
