About Us
Kia ora,
At the heart of Lubrication Solutions you will find myself and Annie, both directors of our company. With over two decades of experience in the industry, I started out as a young enthusiast in hydraulics and eventually specialised in grease systems. In 2005, I began working with Groeneveld NZ and later became the exclusive dealer for Groeneveld-BEKA in the South Island in May 2020. My deep industry knowledge has helped establish Lubrication Solutions as a trusted name in the field.
Annie's diverse professional background brings a unique perspective to our company. With experience in Marketing & Exports in the Hop industry and a background as a Producer/Director in the Film & TV sector, she has played a key role in our business growth. The effectiveness of our business operations is a testament to her expertise and track record of driving success. She is also the owner of Ti Ani - Wild & Organic Teas, a successful business specialising in health and wellness teas.
The success of Lubrication Solutions is largely due to our exceptional team.
Daniel and Tai, our mobile field technicians, provide on-site support, while Sue, our sales representative in Balclutha, covers North Otago, Central Otago, and Southland. Rhiann, our daughter in-law is based in Tasman. She supports Annie and myself, ensuring our operations run seamlessly. Together, our team offers comprehensive support and delivers timely solutions.
One of our proudest achievements is the longevity of our systems. Installations carried out by myself in 2005 are still functioning optimally today, showcasing our team's dedication to quality and reliability.
As Lubrication Solutions continues to grow, we remain committed to providing top-notch service and expert guidance to our clients. Whether you meet us on the road or contact us by phone, Jono, Annie, and the team are always ready to assist.
Jono.
OUR
TIMELINE
Jono starts contracting to Groeneveld.
One of his first installs was fitting a Groeneveld Singleline to a DT Kings truck in Southland.
This greaser was still going in 2022 when we came across it in a maintence check. With 17 years and thousands of kms on the clock, we only needed to give it a clean then it was back to work for this truck!
He continues to contract to Groeneveld for 15 years.
Jono and Annie form Lubrication Solutions Limited, during Covid lock downs.
Groeneveld authorise us as their distributor for the South Island.
We hire more technicians and sales for Southland.
We move out of our home garage and into a real workshop with offices at 2/102 Carmen Road, Christchurch.
We start selling BEKA as well as Groeneveld products. This expands our market further.
Our team has fitted over 5000 systems!
