BMG’S SPANJAARD LUBRICANTS, OILS AND GREASES FOR EFFICIENT
LUBRICATION IN MINING AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

BMG’s Spanjaard lubricants, oils and greases have been developed with the latest formulations and
technologies, to meet the demands of all sectors, including mining, automotive, marine, general industry
and consumer applications.
