Vegan Drawing Lubricants as a Strategic Advantage for the Wire Industry

Traxit Wire Lubrication Drives Sustainable and Economically Stable Wire Production

With the introduction of vegan drawing lubricants, Traxit Wire Lubrication, a brand of Klüber Lubrication, has taken an early technological and strategic step towards shaping the future of the wire industry. As early as 2023, the company became the world’s first supplier of vegan drawing lubricants to be awarded the Vegan Trademark by the British organization The Vegan Society. The successful recertification of the vegan dry drawing lubricants in November 2025 once again confirms Traxit’s long-term commitment to innovation, sustainability, and supply security.

Greater Independence from Volatile Raw Material Markets

A key advantage of vegan drawing lubricants lies in the consistent avoidance of animal-based raw materials. These materials are often subject to significant price and availability fluctuations, influenced by global agricultural markets, climate-related factors, and political frameworks.

Vegan formulations provide greater stability in this regard: wire drawing companies reduce their dependence on volatile raw material sources while increasing planning reliability and cost security throughout the entire production chain.

Sustainability: From Wire Production to the End Product

The Vegan Trademark stands for products free from animal ingredients and tested without the use of animals. In an industrial context, this certification is gaining increasing importance – not merely as an ethical statement, but as a measurable contribution to more sustainable production processes.

The vegan drawing lubricants from Traxit Wire Lubrication enable more environmentally conscious wire production and support companies in achieving their own sustainability goals as well as those of their customers.

In addition, vegan products are an integral part of a high-performance product portfolio. They support energy-efficient processes and, through the proven “Total Use” approach, enable a sustainable reduction in the overall consumption of drawing lubricants – without compromising performance, product quality, or production speed.

Actively Opening Up New Markets

Today, sustainability extends far beyond a company’s own production processes. End products made from wire are increasingly subject to critical consumer and customer requirements. Particularly strong growth can be observed in markets where vegan and sustainable materials are essential – for example in furniture, fasteners, or consumer goods carrying explicit sustainability or vegan labels.

By using vegan drawing lubricants, wire drawing companies create the foundation to actively serve new business segments and position themselves as reliable partners for manufacturers of vegan end products.

Innovative Strength with a Global Perspective

The renewed certification underlines Traxit Wire Lubrication’s role as an innovation leader in the wire industry. With research and development centers in Germany and China, combined with a strong customer focus, the company develops solutions that bring together technological excellence, economic stability, and ecological responsibility.

A Consistent Step Towards the Future

Vegan drawing lubricants are far more than an alternative to conventional products. They represent independence from critical raw materials, sustainable value chains, and new business opportunities in growing markets.
Traxit Wire Lubrication takes responsibility – for a future-proof wire industry, for its customers, and for future generations.
