Regenerated lubricant base oils and solvent purification from waste streams
Itelyum (operating as Viscolube) processes used oils into premium-grade lubricant bases at scale—180,000+ metric tons annually across two Italian facilities running 24/7/365. The tech stack is enterprise-traditional (Salesforce, Power BI, Sumo Logic, Windows infrastructure), reflecting a capital-intensive manufacturing operation with minimal recent tech adoption. Active hiring spans finance, engineering, and logistics roles, with pain points clustering around plant optimization, process efficiency, and regulatory compliance—typical pressures for heavy industrial assets approaching modernization.
Itelyum is Europe's largest used-oil regeneration operator, converting waste lubricants into virgin-equivalent base oils through proprietary re-refining technology. The company also produces diesel fuel and asphalt products for bitumen applications. Operations span two production sites in Pieve Fissiraga (Lodi) and Ceccano (Frosinone), employing over 150 people. Regenerated bases represent approximately 30% of lubricant supply in Italy. The business runs continuous production across all geographies where hiring occurs (Italy).
Itelyum operates two Italian facilities with combined capacity to process over 180,000 metric tons of used oil annually, running continuous 24/7 operations.
Core stack includes Salesforce, Power BI, Tableau, Sumo Logic for monitoring, plus Microsoft 365, Windows Server infrastructure, and ESET/Darktrace for security.
