With premium quality oils and lubrications exclusively manufactured in Germany, Profi-Car is looking to expand to South Africa as well.
Profi-Car supplies transmission oils, additives and car care products in addition to engine oils for cars, trucks and motorcycles, covering every aspect of maintenance and care for the full passenger car and commercial vehicle industry.
As an independently owned company based in southern Germany, Profi-Car exclusively sells the highest quality German-made products and provides dependable, all-inclusive service to its clients and partners worldwide.
All the company's facilities are DIN EN ISO 9001 certified, resulting in the highest quality standards. The company has been in the industry for 30 years and operates in different countries worldwide. The CEO of the company, Frank Nuszer, attended the event as well. “We already cover 55 countries in the world,” Nuszer notes.

It was the first time Profi-Car attended Automechanika SA, and the company wants to expand to and operate in sub-Saharan Africa as well. “We are here at the exhibition for the first time to search for a distributor that distributes across South Africa and even Botswana and Tanzania,” says Nuszer.
The company offers its lubrication products to a wide range of sectors, including, but not limited to, car engine oil, gear oil, additives, care products, marine products, truck engine oil and others. To ensure the high standards and safety of the latest products, they undergo testing prior to being authorised for the market.
Profi-Car is a sponsor of motorsport, and it has expanded over the years and made its mark in the German and European Touring Car Championships. Additionally, the company's drivers and racing teams compete in the DTM Trophy and Lamborghini Supertrofeo racing series. Participation in car sports is significant to Profi-Car because it brings awareness to the market.
