Lubrication Specialties Inc. (LSI), manufacturer of Hot Shot’s Secret high-performance fuel and oil additives, is expanding the company’s bottling production capability by 30 percent and adding shelves to accommodate 20,000 units. The company said sales of its flagship automotive additive brand, Hot Shot’s Secret, as well as the addition of new automotive oil and gas products, and the increase in private label custom formulations has led to the decision to increase production and storage for 2019.
LSI recently celebrated the company’s 20th year of continuous operations, and with that milestone added several key management positions, in addition to expanding retail and online distribution, and starting production of formulations for new markets.
With all of this growth the company has forecast continued steady sales of the Hot Shot’s Secret’s growing product line, and expects to experience a higher concentration of new business in developing problem-specific custom formulations for companies both for, and outside of, the automotive aftermarket.
LSI Owner and President Chris Gabrelcik, is one of few people worldwide who holds both a Certification of Lubrication Specialist and Oil Management Analysis – expertise that is unique in the industry, LSI says. LSI was originally focused on finding problem-specific solutions for industrial and commercial accounts, a model of operations that led to the development of Hot Shot’s Secret Stiction Eliminator and the company’s burgeoning automotive aftermarket business.
“With growth and the expansion of our product line, more companies are reaching out to say, ‘Hey, I have a problem you may be able to help me with.’ Leading into the trade show season, we have the opportunity to share how we can help companies develop a product specific to their needs. We were founded with diverse clients from all areas of manufacturing and industry, and now we are quickly becoming a one-stop shop for additive and lubrication product development,” said Kyle Fischer, Lubrication Specialties Inc. director of marketing.
Gabrelcik added, “Our model for operations has been the same from day one. We are a product development solutions center that offers a diverse level of expertise you cannot find elsewhere, that transcends one market or industry.”
