YOU BUILD
WE SUPPORT
Catmacs equips engineers and partners with the tools and backing to design and deliver controlled lubrication systems with materially lower total cost of ownership.
From initial pilots to full deployment, we support implementation using Easylube’s proven and technically advanced lubrication platform. Delivery is reinforced by our team and service partners through flexible deployment models and practical commercial options.
Improved Outcomes

Outcomes
Industrial and fixed plant assets operate under extreme loads, requiring precise, continuous lubrication to prevent wear and premature failure. Poor lubrication management quickly leads to downtime, safety risks, and rising lifecycle costs.
Since 2012, we have supported engineers and asset owners across Australia and New Zealand. Over that time, one insight has shaped our approach. Maintenance teams don’t wake up looking for lubricators. They are accountable for performance, cost, risk, and compliance. Increasingly, they must also meet local and Indigenous procurement targets within defined budgets and commercial commitments.
Manual vs Automated Lubrication
Hand Greasing
Manual lubrication relies on technicians applying grease or oil at scheduled intervals using handheld tools. While simple in principle, this approach depends heavily on individual consistency, access conditions, and the quality of on-site maintenance practices.
In practice, missed intervals, inconsistent volumes, difficult access points, and exposure to safety risks increase the likelihood of under-lubrication, over-lubrication, contamination, and premature component failure across critical rotating assets.
Manual hand greasing rarely achieves true Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). Large, infrequent doses cause over-greasing followed by lubrication starvation, while frequent or poorly controlled application leads to chronic over-lubrication or under-lubrication.
Common challenges include:
- Inconsistent lubrication volumes
- Missed or delayed servicing
- High labour and access costs
- Safety risks in confined or elevated areas
- Limited traceability and reporting
Easylube®
Automated lubrication systems engineered around true MQL principles deliver precise, controlled lubricant volumes at programmed intervals. Easylube supports this through small, consistent doses that maintain a stable and effective lubrication film over the bearing’s operating cycle.
Easylube® systems are engineered with MQL as a core design principle. Key features such as the unique piston mechanism provide vital pressure feedback, ensuring correct operation and reliable, metered lubricant delivery.
By removing manual variability, automated systems improve reliability, extend asset life, and reduce total maintenance cost. Integrated monitoring, reporting, and control further support proactive maintenance strategies and long-term asset performance.
Key advantages include:
- Consistent, metered lubrication delivery
- Reduced labour and access requirements
- Improved equipment reliability and uptime
- Enhanced safety outcomes
- Scalable system design and monitoring

Bridging The Gap
Catmacs delivers Easylube’s advanced MQL technology to the Australian and New Zealand markets through a flexible commercial model, which significantly lowers entry barriers and reduces long-term operating costs.
We equip engineers and partners with rapid product delivery, application-specific lubricant solutions, and comprehensive field services including onsite training and audits, installations, grease cup filling, and cartridge changeouts. This helps reduce substantial cost, risk, and complexity from lubrication management.
These outcomes are further reinforced through our software development services, custom fittings and brackets, flexible supply models, and socially responsible procurement delivered in partnership with local and Indigenous suppliers.
Powered by Easylube’s proven and technically advanced lubrication technology system, we help engineers and partners build high-performance, cost-effective, and intelligently managed lubrication systems.

The private-label program is designed to help partners bring high-quality single-point automatic lubrication products to market under their own brand, without the cost, complexity, or risk of in-house manufacturing. From established distributors to growing solution providers, our private-label approach enables partners to scale quickly with confidence.
Products can be purchased directly through Catmacs or through our growing network of authorised partners across Australia and New Zealand. This ensures local availability, technical support and on-site service where it matters most.
We are actively expanding our partner network to strengthen regional coverage and service capability. Partnership opportunities range from reseller arrangements through to fully private label solutions. This is enabling partners to expand their product offering and strengthen their brand using reliable, field-tested technology.
Backed by industrial-grade hardware and end-to-end support, you can focus on building your brand and serving your customers. Hornche manufacture and supply the equipment, Catmacs provides comprehensive operational, logistics, and partner support. Partners retain full control over branding, positioning, services, and customer relationships.

Easylube
— Innovation
Hornche Corporation (ISO 9001:2015 certified) was founded in 1988 and is based in Taiwan, a global hub for advanced technology and high-tech manufacturing.
In 1992, Hornche developed the world’s first electromechanical-driven automatic lubricator. Five years later, the first generation of the Easylube automatic lubricator was launched. With nearly 30 years of field use and millions of successful installations, Easylube has earned strong recognition and trust from customers for its proven quality and reliability.
This globally patented technology has continued to evolve, now incorporating infrared gear systems, smart sensing capabilities, and long distance remote monitoring features.
