Telko is a leading distributor of plastics, chemicals, and lubricants, supplying top brands across 17 countries. A trusted Castrol partner since 1958, Telko reported €253 million in net sales in 2024. That same year, it expanded into Western Europe by acquiring Optimol Lubrication and Greenfluid, extending its reach to France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. This strategic move strengthens Telko’s position as a top industrial lubricants distributor, offering premium solutions and technical expertise.

ABOUT OUR
NEW NAME.
Telko /tel·ko/ noun. Origin: Finnish, industrial trade heritage. First recorded use: Early 20th century (Suomen Teollisuuskonttori).
Derived from Suomen Teollisuuskonttori, a Finnish industrial trading office established in 1917, originally focused on the import of coal and coke. The root word “teollisuus” means industry, and “konttori” means office: together describing a commercial hub that connected global raw materials with emerging Nordic industries. Over time, the long-form name was shortened, simplified and modernised and became: Telko.
