Fuchs SE, headquartered in Mannheim, Germany, is a global manufacturer of specialty lubricants and functional fluids operating across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and the Americas. Founded in 1931, the company (formerly known as Fuchs Petrolub SE, renamed in July 2023) serves a broad customer base spanning the automotive, industrial, engineering, construction, mining, transport, steel and cement, aerospace, wind energy, and food sectors.
The companys product portfolio is organized into several categories: automotive and industrial lubricants (including engine oils, gear oils, hydraulic fluids, and biodegradable options), lubricating greases for applications ranging from roller bearings to rail vehicles, metal processing lubricants (such as cutting, grinding, and forming fluids), and special application products including solid film lubricants, corrosion protection, and release agents.

FPE3 represents the companys preference shares, which are listed on XETRA.
