We Focus on Your Ingredients, Not Your Finished Products.
Some major additive suppliers also participate in the markets their customers serve. QLS takes a different position: we manufacture specialty chemical ingredients and work to support the performance of our customers' formulations rather than compete with their finished lubricant or grease brands.
