Lubrication Engineers (LE) has acquired Southwestern Petroleum Lubricants (SWEPCO), a Texas-based manufacturer of industrial greases and oils. The deal marks LE’s third acquisition in 2025 and continues the company’s expansion under private equity firm Aurora Capital Partners.
Founded in 1933, SWEPCO specializes in high-performance greases, oils, and lubricants used in industrial and food-grade applications. Its product line includes proprietary calcium sulfonate greases and a range of branded and private label lubricants. SWEPCO’s products are distributed globally through direct sales and a network of third-party partners.
LE said the acquisition enhances its manufacturing capabilities and expands its portfolio with SWEPCO’s specialty lubricants and additive technologies. The move also adds in-house calcium sulfonate grease production to LE’s operations.
Leadership from both companies cited strong alignment in technical expertise and a shared focus on equipment reliability. The integration is expected to support product innovation and improve customer service and distribution worldwide.
