Motul has celebrated its 150th anniversary. A unique opportunity to look back at the past to better understand the future and make absolutely sure that nothing of the pioneer spirit of its beginnings has been forsaken.
More than 150 years. More than a century and a half of uninterrupted activity which has allowed Motul to constantly modernise itself and climb to the vanguard of technology. This permanent quest and the determination to move forward have led the company to an envied position in its sector. The company enjoys worldwide repute and is unanimously recognised for the quality of its products, capacity to innovate and involvement in the world of competition.
Throughout this history, all Motul's workforce has been driven by a demanding ethos, passion and respect. The men and women who have built and are continuing to build the brand have always found in themselves the strength to keep the company at a highly demanding technical and human level.
No doubt the best way of celebrating this anniversary is to perpetuate the corporate spirit, the independence of mind and the faculty to adapt of the pioneers.
Research & Development
MOTUL STANDS OUT WITH INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
Motul has set itself the demanding goals of constantly producing quality lubricants with ever better performances and pushing back the boundaries of technology. Product innovation in the Group is a daily and shared approach.
Historically, Motul has regularly stood out from its competitors by its high-tech solutions: as early as 1971, it was the first lubricant producer to sell 100% synthetic oil on the automotive market.
By developing Double Ester technology in the 300V Motorsport range, Motul more recently developed a technology placing it above all existing market standards.
The Group owes its innovation capacity to its teams organised in a network in its Centre of Excellence Product, and also to the work conducted in partnership with universities and consultants and to its alliances with specialised players in advanced technological fields.
The Research & Development laboratories in Japan and France are staffed by pluridisciplinary teams composed of high-level chemists holding PhDs as well as engineers highly proficient in mechanical applications.
The development of partnerships with specialised universities like the MADI, the prestigious Russian technical university specialised in cars and road construction, and its network of consultants provide broad and essential knowledge during the various development phases.
In each of the main territories where Motul operates, the Centre of Excellence Product keeps close contacts with OEMs so as to guide Research & Development activities: a technical watch is therefore ensured internationally over OEM standards and approvals and note is taken of client feedback.
In the industrial field, thanks to partnerships with technologically advanced manufacturers, such as Baraldi Lubrificanti in Italy, Motul is developing its Aluminium Way project in the field of aluminium high-pressure die casting and extrusion.
