Founded in 1953 by Samuel R. Firth Jr., Anchor Lubricants manufactures water-based metalworking lubricants and specialty compounds, including its signature Anchorlube cutting fluid. The Cleveland company grew from Firth’s early work developing a safer alternative to oil-based lubricants and remains family-owned under Anchor Lubricants LLC, which acquired Anchor Chemical in 2021. Its non-hazardous formulas are designed to extend tool life while making cleanup easier and the workplace safer.

• Blaser SwisslubeFounded in Switzerland in 1936, family-owned Blaser Swisslube makes metalworking fluids and pairs them with process-optimization support for CNC manufacturers. Now in its third generation, the company develops its solutions at a 3,500-square-meter R&D and technology center in Hasle-Rüegsau, where more than 90 specialists work on machining applications. Blaser’s unusual path—from its founder’s first water-repellent shoe cream for Swiss farmers to today’s Liquid Tool approach—still informs its focus on fluids that are compatible with people and the environment.GOSHEN, NY
