The challenge

Zschimmer & Schwarz makes synthetic ester base stocks and lubricant components for demanding industrial applications. Its buyers are engineers, formulators and technical purchasers who judge suppliers on performance and specifications. It needed a partner that could turn complex chemistry into credible, accessible marketing without losing technical accuracy.

What we did

In a long-term partnership, Timmons&Company runs a coordinated program connecting Zschimmer & Schwarz's expertise with the people who specify its products.

Website, SEO and AI search:

Developed and keep expanding ZSLubes.com as a technical resource for formulators, with product and application content and ongoing work to make technical information easy for AI search platforms to use.

EsterTec® VSP launch

Positioning, visual identity, EsterTec.com, trade-show experiences and sales materials for a next-generation ester technology Read the launch story →

Advertising and communications:

campaigns in lubricant-industry publications, plus LinkedIn and email that extend each announcement.

01 — Interactive Experience

Inside the booth: an interactive touchscreen app

Instead of handing visitors a brochure, we designed and built a touchscreen app for the EsterTec® exhibit. Visitors tap through the benefits, compare performance on an interactive chart, estimate savings with a calculator, find the right ester with a solutions finder, and jump to application areas, resources, EsterTec.com and ZSLubes.com.

It gave the Zschimmer & Schwarz team a consistent, engaging way to start technical conversations at the booth.
