About Us
About us
We don't only sell fluid. We run the lifecycle around it.
ISG UK Ltd manages metalworking fluid as one integrated system - from the first dose to the certified disposal report. Chemistry, equipment, service and waste, under one contract and one accountable team.
ISG UK Ltd is built on more than 130 years of combined global experience across fluid management, total waste management, lubricant supply and equipment installation, led by a Managing Director with an international career in the sector. Critically, ISG UK Ltd and Environmental Green Group are linked by ownership. Environmental Green Group is our sister company inside the same group, not a subcontracted waste partner, which means waste management and Carbon Handprint verification are delivered inside our own chain of custody. That is the moat.
Why we exist
The industry had quietly accepted a broken model. Lubricant from one supplier. Equipment from another. Service from a third. Disposal from a fourth. When it failed, the four pointed fingers, and the engineering team carried the cost.
We built ISG UK Ltd to close the loop. One team, one methodology, one accountable contract, cradle to grave. We call it Dexterous.
Footprint is what we did. Handprint is what we prevent. Dexterous is engineered to maximise the second, and to prove it.
What we stand for
Engineering first. Engineers, not account managers. Foaming on a five-axis cell at two in the morning, we want the first call.
Chemistry we trust. OEM-grade only. MotulTech (UK Master Distributor), backed by our Own Brand Lubricants for specialist precision and adjacent fluids.
Data we can defend. Dexterous Digital logs every dose, every sample, every disposal. When an auditor asks where the fluid went, we show them.
Genuine partnerships. MotulTech, our Own Brand Lubricants, Ecospill, Environmental Green Group. One contract, one team. We bring them together, so you don't have to.
How we're built
We're organised around the four pillars of the Dexterous lifecycle, not around sales regions. Every customer gets a named engineering lead, a field service team, and a data owner on Dexterous Digital, whichever site they are running and whichever pillar they need on a given day.
The same people answer the phone whether you have a fluid question, a service call, or an audit deadline. No handoffs between departments, no starting over with someone new. One team that learns your plant, holds its history, and stays with it for the long run.
Who we work with
We are purpose-built for engineering and manufacturing. Precision machining, tooling, aerospace machining, automotive and EV battery component machining. If your production depends on fluid behaving predictably, we should be talking. We do not run sector marketing pages, because the Dexterous lifecycle is the same conversation in every workshop, only the alloys change. Whether you run one cell or fifty, the fundamentals hold: the right fluid, applied correctly, logged properly, disposed of cleanly. Tell us what you make and we will tell you how we fit. If it cuts metal and lives or dies on fluid, it is our kind of plant.

Our own handprint
We measure ourselves the same way we measure our customers.
Every operational decision at ISG UK Ltd, from how we ship fluid to how we route service vans, runs against the same Carbon Handprint methodology we put on a customer's desk. The number that travels into your sustainability report is the same number we use to run ours.
