Engineering the industrial carbon handprint.
ISG UK Ltd runs your metalworking fluid as one connected system - premium chemistry, in-house equipment, on-site engineers, and a verified Carbon Handprint Report. We call the way we do it Dexterous.
THE PROMISE
Longer sump life. Cleaner machines. Tighter compliance. A carbon number you can put your name to.
We supply the fluid, install the equipment, walk your floor, log every cycle, and verify the lot — under one contract, with one team, and one record. By the time your auditor asks, the answer is already on file.

FOUR PILLARS. ONE LIFECYCLE
Product · the chemistry that lasts
Product · the chemistry that lasts. Premium MotulTech metalworking fluids and lubricants, where ISG UK Ltd is the appointed UK Master Distributor. Metalflow for die-casting and specialist precision. Smith & Allan, our in-house range, for adjacent industrial fluids. Up to three times the sump life of conventional MWF, before a drop is wasted.
Equipment · the hardware that holds it together
Dosing, filtration, regeneration and briquetting equipment, designed and built in-house. Dexterous Flow keeps concentration in spec. Dexterous Filter keeps contamination out. Dexterous Restore & Reclaim closes the loop, on the line.
Service · the engineers who know your floor
ISO-certified MWF engineers on a planned call cycle. ISG Laboratory, with a 48-hour sample turnaround. Dexterous Digital, recording every visit. Ecospill kit on every van. Audit trail by default.
Waste Management · the proof at the end
Environmental Green Group handles disposal — only when fluid is genuinely exhausted. Then they convert the year's record into a Carbon Handprint Report. ISO 14067 and GHG Protocol aligned. CSRD- and OEM-audit ready.
Why ISG UK Ltd
We've built our business around running the metalworking fluid lifecycle as one integrated operation, rather than selling its parts.
- One supplier, end to end. Chemistry, hardware, engineers, laboratory, recovery, disposal and reporting, under one contract.
- Built in-house. Our equipment is engineered, manufactured and serviced by us. So is the data platform behind it.
- Aerospace-grade chemistry as standard. Q8Oils Brunel runs on Airbus, Safran and Dassault approval pathways, and we apply the same standard to every site we operate.
- Carbon you can prove. Every kg of CO₂e avoided is verified by Environmental Green Group against ISO 14067, not modelled, not estimated.
BUILT FOR YOUR SECTOR
Aerospace and defence. Automotive and EV battery component machining. Precision engineering. We work with the Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers where fluid performance, COSHH compliance and verifiable carbon data decide who stays on the approved-supplier list — and who doesn't.
FOOTPRINT VS. HANDPRINT
A footprint counts what you create. A handprint counts what you prevent. We track both — and we lead with the second one.
The fluid you don't dispose of. The chips you reclaim. The biocide doses you don't add. The changeouts you never have to schedule. That's the Carbon Handprint, and it's the figure that travels into your sustainability report and onto your OEM's desk.
FROM THE LATIN DEXTER - ON THE RIGHT SIDE
A dexterous hand is the hand of a surgeon, a musician, a craftsperson — coordinated, agile, deliberate. We picked the name because that's how we want our system to feel on your shop floor.
Dexterous is our framework. ISG UK Ltd is the company behind it.
Footprint is what we did. Handprint is what we prevented. We're engineered to maximise the second number and to prove it.
See your handprint before you commit.
Two hours on one of your sites with our engineer. We assess the fluid, flag the quick wins, and give you an indicative Carbon Handprint figure. No charge, no commitment.
