STARFIRE Lubricants Expands PennStar Location

Cincinnati, May 20, 2025 - STARFIRE Lubricants has officially announced a significant expansion at its PennStar location, signaling a crucial advancement in the company's growth strategy. This development involves an 80,000-square-foot warehouse addition designed to improve operations drastically by adding eight new loading docks. Such upgrades are not just about increasing space; they also enhance shipping and handling efficiency, allowing STARFIRE to manage both finished products and raw materials more effectively. This means faster order fulfillment and an increased capacity for storage, tailored specifically to meet rising customer demands.

In addition to warehouse enhancements, STARFIRE has added a new rail spur to its PennStar railyard.

STARFIRE prides itself on delivering high-quality lubricants, accompanied by on-site testing and dedicated customer support, ensuring optimal lubricant performance tailored to clients’ needs.
