OUR HERITAGE
Lubetech was founded in 1996 in Chandlers Ford, near Southampton, UK. Initially operating from a small warehouse, the company entered into spill control products. Lubetech began by offering a modest range of absorbents and spill control items, gradually developing its own brand known for attention to detail and innovative solutions.
In 2017, Lubetech was acquired by NPS Corporation, a US-based manufacturer with a strong presence in spill control products. This acquisition allowed NPS Corporation to expand its footprint in the UK and Europe.
ESP UK was a prominent UK-based manufacturer specialising in meltblown polypropylene absorbents and spill control products. The company operated from Oldham, Greater Manchester, and focused on providing high-quality spill prevention and recovery solutions through distributor partnerships.
ESP UK was known for its innovative product designs and commitment to environmental safety. Their product line included a variety of absorbents and spill control items. Like Lubetech, ESP UK was acquired by NPS in 2017 to further dominate the spill control market.
Liquid Safety Solutions (LSS) is not a separate company, but a branding initiative launched by NPS Corporation in early 2020 to enhance its spill control division's identity. This branding emphasised the company's commitment to providing comprehensive spill control solutions.
In February 2021, NPS Corporation underwent a significant restructuring. The company sold its Towel and Tissue Division, along with the NPS name, and rebranded its remaining operations as FyterTech Nonwovens LLC. This rebranding marked a renewed focus on nonwoven fabrics and spill control solutions.
As part of this transition, ESP UK, along with Lubetech, became integral components of FyterTech Nonwovens' UK operations. The combined expertise of ESP UK's innovative product designs and manufacturing background paired with Lubetech's established brand reputation enhanced FyterTech's capabilities in providing spill control solutions globally.
Let's help you stay safe, compliant and spill ready
Theory alone isn't enough. That's why our courses combine classroom learning on spill response knowledge and applications with practical mock spill scenarios. At FyterTech, we believe a successful spill response isn’t just about having the right materials on hand. It’s about proper training and regular drills to ensure responders can act quickly and safely, minimising the impact on both people and the environment.
This course is perfect for anyone who handles liquids daily and needs to effectively use spill kits and absorbents to tackle spills and leaks at work.
