OilDoc GmbH was established as a spin-off of OELCHECK GmbH.
OELCHECK – the leading laboratory for lubricant and fuel analysis in Europe.
The company is based in Brannenburg in Upper Bavaria (Germany). The company was founded in 1991 by Barbara and Peter Weismann under the name WEARCHECK – renamed OELCHECK in 2009. OELCHECK is 100% family-owned and therefore completely independent.
With a lubricant, operating fluid or coolant analysis from OELCHECK, the maintenance and change intervals can be adapted to the actual condition of the machines and oil fillings. In addition to lubricating greases, coolants and fuels, OELCHECK can also analyze lubricants from gearboxes, engines, hydraulics, transformers, turbines, compressors, heat transfer systems and chillers. Each analysis is tailored precisely to the component to be examined. The aim is to extend the service life of the lubricant and the service life of the machines.
