Nutek’s Soy-Based Lubricants & Wipes Widely Available at Retail Outlets

Nutek founders Cathy Horton and Kim Novotney debut Nutek’s environmentally-friendly products at the Atlanta Home Depot in 2008.

Nutek LLC, based in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, manufactures environmentally friendly soy-based lubricants and biodegradable cleaning wipes. These products are available at leading national retail outlets including Kroger Stores; Ace; Home Depot; True Value; Northern Tool, Tractor Supply and Jerry’s Home Stores. They are also widely available for government purchase and are listed on USDA’s BioPreferred list.  The company is currently working to open additional sales channels in the industrial and automobile sectors.

According to Nutek CEO Cathy Horton, “Our mission extends far beyond offering environmentally-friendly alternatives to toxic household and industrial products; we support the local economy by creating green job opportunities and selling our products in local stores.”

Horton’s company was born in 2007. After finding a rusted can of petroleum-based household lubricant, with its plastic spray straw stuck to a closet shelf, Cathy Horton and her business partner Kim Novotney were inspired to make a change for the better. Here was a product billed as an anti-corrosive in a completely rusted can. Horton knew the product was a hazard for her and her family, and the environment. The two partners collaborated to ensure household consumers and industrial users had safe and high-performance alternatives to toxic products on the market. 

Nutek’s lubricants are well-received by professionals who work in the automotive industry.  David Heath, owner of 4-Start Equipment Services stated, “It works better than WD40®. WD40 will smoke and dissipate; Lūbfix™ smokes, but adheres. I rebuilt a small engine, cleaned it and left if sitting over night with a cover of WD40. It rained and the moisture caused the engine to rust. I tried cleaning it, and my son said to use Nutek’s Lūbfix™. I did. The engine then sat for two weeks outside in the weather waiting for parts. None of the Lūbfix™ ran off, not a bit of rust reappeared either.”

In addition, Nutek’s wipe products are a must-have for anyone who needs a high-performance solution that will not disintegrate during use. Jim Montgomery, Senior Director for a major airline operation gave Nutek’s Grime Off® a positive review. “I have never used anything that made that task (cleaning brake dust) so easy! They truly do work.”
