Vickers oils and preparations

Specialist oils for knitting machines and preparations for processing fibres and yarns. We match the solution to the machine, the material and the subsequent finishing process.

Production in Leeds

Control from formulation development to the finished product.

Vickers Oils has been developing specialist lubricants since 1828. The company combines its own production in the UK with a technology base, quality control and cooperation with machine manufacturers.

The result is not one “universal oil” but a product selected to match the machine design, the type of yarn, the application method and the planned finishing of the product.

Vickers Oils manufactures in the UK, controls product parameters and develops products in cooperation with machine manufacturers and technical customers.

  • Full production control
  • Rigorous parameter testing
  • Quality assurance
