German oil and additive specialist LIQUI MOLY is streamlining the number of different colour canisters its products come in to boost efficiency and sustainability. 

The product range and names are unaffected by this changeover. The only change is the decrease in the number of different canister colours. Containers coloured purple and light blue will not be available in the future. They will be replaced by dark blue canisters. LIQUI MOLY is also dispensing with red oil packaging. Black plastic will be used for this in future. Marketing Director Marco Esser says, “A total of 3.5 million purple, light blue, and red canisters will be eliminated. This is one of many measures aimed at increasing efficiency.” 

Marco adds, “In production, this will reduce downtime because less equipment will need to be changed. Fewer canister colours are also of great benefit for warehousing logistics and procurement.  Ultimately, it will optimise space requirements and productivity. For our customers, this step means faster and more flexible delivery of goods.”

New canister colour will be phased in over the coming months.
