Resource-saving solutions come to life!

For almost a quarter of a century, the Suprotec brand has gone from the first additives in motor oil for passenger cars to comprehensive resource-saving solutions for transport and industry. We have grown from a St. Petersburg startup to a holding company with several activities. But the main thing has not changed: we want your equipment to work longer, and you spend less money on its maintenance and repairs. It is this philosophy that has naturally made Suprotek a strategic partner of the Second Eurasian Prize of the Assembly of Motorists, an event that honors people and companies that form a culture of responsible operation of machinery.

Private car owner: from tribos to ownership culture

For a private car owner, Suprotek is primarily tribotechnical compounds that work at the physical level and give measurable consumer effects. Branded additives of the series "Active" restore compression, reduce oil consumption for carbon monoxide, protect the engine during cold start-up and reduce friction losses. The line is built on the principle of “3+1”: three bottles of the main composition for full processing and one to maintain the effect during subsequent oil changes.

Today, the private market for Suprotek is not only additives to the engine. This service autochemistry "Suprotek-Aprokhim" for fuel systems and air conditioners, motor oils Atomium and "Comfort", plastic lubricants and compositions for motor vehicles. For the owner of a new car, Suprotek processing is a way to lay a resource from the first kilometer; for the owner of a used car, it is possible to return nominal characteristics to the units without major repairs.

Public, special and commercial transport: MAKS series and plastic lubricants

Where the equipment works in the mode of increased loads, resource saving ceases to be a private matter and becomes an economic necessity. For cargo, commercial and special transport, Suprotek has developed a separate MAKS series – trains specially created to extend the life and optimize the parameters of engines and other units.

One of the illustrative examples is the bus fleet of the city of Prokopyevsk, Kemerovo region, where about fifty buses enter the routes daily in a sharply continental climate and hilly terrain. The cost of overhaul of one bus often exceeds three hundred thousand rubles. There is a huge task: to reduce the cost of major repairs, to increase the intervals between repairs, so that the engine after overhaul passes at least half a million kilometers. With the use of MAKS ICE, we will reach half a million kilometers, says Evgeny Popov, chief engineer of the auto company. The economy here speaks the language of numbers: only the fuel economy on large engines processed by tribos reaches 8%. For municipal and commercial fleets, these are direct saved millions of rubles a year, which can be used to upgrade equipment or increase drivers' salaries.

Industrial lubricants and coolant: resource saving comes to the plant

The logic of Suprotek’s development led the company to a place where the resource is measured not in kilometers, but in hours of machine tools. In 2022, the holding began production of plastic lubricants and lubricating and cooling liquids for the industrial market. The first product was the water-resistant lubricant "Extreme SKP-350" for road construction, agricultural and forestry equipment - with an increased replacement interval and a working range from -30 to +170 °C.

Today, Suprotek lubricants and coolant are used to extend the life of industrial equipment - from machine tools to power plants. “Twenty years of experience in the development and production of branded tribotechnical compounds, service autochemistry and new technological capabilities have allowed us to take a step into a new large market with a competitive product,” said Denis Raevsky, Commercial Director of Industry. At the first Eurasian Award “Assembly of Motorists”, the Suprotek-Prom division received a diploma “For the promotion of resource-saving industrial lubricants and LEDs and technological support service” – recognition that resource saving does not end in transport.

APP: from product to industry platform

Understanding that resource saving is not technology, but culture, led Suprotek to create the Assembly for Resource and Energy Saving (ARES). This non-profit alliance is designed to generate, summarize and broadcast the experience of implementing resource-saving solutions in industry, transport, agriculture and urban economy, construction. Resource saving is very important in the special economic conditions of Russia. Sustainable management and the use of innovative Russian technologies to extend the resource of cars, special equipment and industrial equipment are important and significant, says Sergey Zelenkov, CEO of Suprotek and President of ARES.

AREC is becoming an “architect” of the market of resource-saving solutions – an inter-industry platform where the developments of the founding companies are integrated into the engineering framework of the new economic model. It is this role – to unite manufacturers, operators and the state around the idea of lean use of resources – that makes Suprotek not just a supplier, but a strategic partner of the award, which honors people and companies that change the culture of production and operation of equipment.

For "Suprotek" The second Eurasian Award of the Assembly of Motorists is an opportunity to once again show that resource-saving solutions work in many areas and industries: in bus engines, in dump trucks, in machine tools in factories and in cars of ordinary drivers who choose equipment that works longer.

Resources like predictability.
