After once again surpassing production records in 2025, Liqui Moly has big plans for 2026

Liqui Moly, the German automotive chemicals specialist belonging to the Würth Group, ended the past year with top results in oil and additive production, with its sales increasing by eight percent.
This achievement was rewarded by the management with a bonus of up to 7,000 euros per employee.
Looking ahead, three new foreign companies are to be established during 2026, with a groundbreaking ceremony to be held for what is the largest single construction project in the company’s history.
Liqui Moly explained it was an extremely turbulent year, both politically and economically. It reports that two thirds of the eight percent increase in sales was generated abroad, while in Germany, above average growth was achieved.
It states this is a result in which the workforce not only has its share, but also participates.
“Each of the almost 1,300 employees around the world now receives a bonus of up to 7,000 euros,” Liqui Moly Managing Director, Salvatore Coniglio, said in announcing the result.
Marking new production records were 119,000 metric tons of oil, 40 million oil containers, and 25 million cans of additives.
“In order to continue to grow, the Saarlouis site is planning to expand its production capacity to 160,000 metric tons of oil. In 2026, we’ll be implementing it step by step,” Liqui Moly Managing Director, Dr Uli Weller, said.
“On January 1, 2026, Meguin GmbH & Co. KG Mineralölwerke became LIQUI MOLY Produktions GmbH & Co. KG.
“This is merely a change of name for the 100 percent subsidiary.”
Additional production capacities will also be created at the company headquarters in Ulm through additional filling lines, automation and digitalisation.
In the future, the majority of the produced goods will be stored in a new logistics centre in northern Ulm. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for this year.
“The largest construction project in the company’s history will greatly improve our logistics processes,” Liqui Moly Managing Director, Günter Hiermaier, said.
“It is the key to greater competitiveness, even higher customer satisfaction and an essential component of our growth strategy.”
Further internationalisation is also part of the growth strategy.
“This year, we will establish foreign companies in China, Switzerland and Turkey. We have been active in these countries for many years, but we want to penetrate the markets better and exploit the existing potential better,” Salvatore said.
