Blaser Swisslube turns coolant into a “liquid tool”

OEM Update visited the headquarters of Blaser Swisslube AG in Hasle-Rüegsau, Switzerland, where metalworking fluids are developed not as consumables, but as critical process tools that directly influence machining performance, tool life, and overall manufacturing efficiency. At the core of Blaser’s philosophy is partnership. Andreas Finger, Head of Team Application Engineering, emphasises that Blaser works alongside customers as a technology partner, bringing deep application knowledge to optimise machining processes. By understanding the complete system—from machine and tooling to material and coolant behaviour—Blaser helps manufacturers unlock measurable improvements in productivity and process stability. Innovation at Blaser is driven by data and real-world validation. Adrian Künzi, Head of Manufacturing Processes, highlights how advanced sensors and application testing enable the team to identify the optimal conditions for each machining operation. This approach allows Blaser to generate valuable insights that support customers in achieving consistent, high-performance results across diverse applications and materials. From an innovation and product development perspective, Dr. Olivia Bossart, Head of Innovation and Executive Board Member, explains how customer feedback, application expertise, and chemical research work together to create high-performance solutions. By translating real machining challenges into advanced chemical formulations, Blaser ensures its products deliver tangible value on the shop floor. Sustainability is also a key outcome of this approach. Longer fluid life, reduced tool wear, and improved process efficiency help manufacturers lower waste, reduce carbon footprint, and achieve significant cost savings, demonstrating that performance and sustainability go hand in hand.
