Get to know. \\ Traxit Wire Lubrication

Innovative lubricant solutions for wire drawing: Your expert for all aspects of lubricants and their application since 1881

Wire drawing and Traxit belong together: Our founder August Neuhoff, chemist and pharmacist, started to develop and manufacture specialty lubricants for the wire industry back in 1881. His focus and goal was to improve efficiency in wire production through high-grade lubricants to enable companies in the wire drawing industry to meet the booming demand of the time. The connection with the wire industry is also reflected in our name: Traxit stems from a Latin term, the literal meaning of which is “drawn”.

We still follow the values of our founder today. Every day, we develop innovative solutions that help our customers improve productivity, increase cost-effectiveness, and save energy and resources in wire drawing.

High-performance wire lubrication – as individual as our customers

Over time and on the basis of continuous growth, the family business became today’s Traxit Wire Lubrication: The world’s biggest manufacturer of wire drawing lubricants with a product range of 450 dry lubricants, wet lubricants and coating agents.
