Lubrizol has announced a multi-million-dollar investment to elevate its Wickliffe, Ohio headquarters, as the company approaches its 100th anniversary in 2028.
The investment will integrate Lubrizol’s Brecksville employees and capabilities into its Wickliffe campus, allowing more than 1,000 of the company’s Northeast Ohio personnel to collaborate from a singular campus. This strategic project aims to enhance teamwork and accelerate decision making, increasing in-person connectivity and expanding development opportunities by bringing together the innovators who lead Lubrizol’s breakthrough science in a modernized workplace.
“Lubrizol’s innovation legacy began in a Cleveland garage when Lubrizol invented its first automotive solutions to lubricate leaf springs on early automobiles,” said Rebecca Liebert, Lubrizol’s president and CEO. “Nearly a century and thousands of patents later, our extraordinary Northeast Ohio talent continues to innovate for breakthrough solutions, enabled by Lubrizol science. By uniting our teams under one roof, we’re building an even more connected and agile organization to drive lasting impact and enhance countless products that consumers across the world use every day.”
The investment in the Wickliffe campus includes enhancing the campus’ labs, expanding innovation capabilities and adding a Lubrizol experience center. Building renovations augment the employee experience, including interactive workspaces, renovated on-site cafeterias, and a multipurpose space to support meetings and events. Construction will be completed in phases over the next two years.
