PanAn, a leading provider of sales, distribution and engineering support for high-quality lab equipment to the Chinese petrochemical industry, will be the country’s sole distributor for MRG Labs’ Grease Thief line of testing products.

According to trade journal, Machinery Lubrication, the company will distribute sampling and analysis products to Chinese laboratories and lubricants users to improve testing on grease-lubricated machines.

In a recent interview, PanAn founder David Zhou claimed, “in addition to our fuel, lubricants and other condition-monitoring tools, we add grease analysis using the Grease Thief technology to serve our customer base that includes PetroChina, ZF, John Deere, Shell, Lubrizol, Air China, Boeing, Shanghai Metro and more.”

Chinese industry is under increasing pressure to reduce emissions as the government continues to crack down on pollution. Testing facilities and oil analysis programs should help firms improve efficiency and reduce wastage.
