About Us
Kia Ora,
At the heart of LSL (Lubrication Solutions Ltd) are Jono and Annie - partners in business and life, each bringing their own strengths to the company.
Jono has been in the industry for over 20 years, starting as a hands-on problem solver in hydraulics before specialising in grease systems. He first worked with Groeneveld equipment in 2005, and by May 2020, he and Annie secured the exclusive dealership for Groeneveld-BEKA in the South Island. His ability to find practical solutions and his straightforward approach have helped establish LSL as a trusted name in the field.
Annie is the driving force behind business development and operations. With a background in Marketing & Exports in the Hop industry and experience as a Producer/Director in Film & TV, she brings a fresh perspective to the industry. Focused on strategic growth and efficiency, she ensures the company continues to evolve and expand. Alongside her role at LSL, she is also the owner of Tī Ani – Wild & Organic Teas, a successful business specialising in health and wellness.
Beyond Jono and Annie, LSL is backed by a skilled and hardworking team. From field technicians providing expert on-site support to the operational crew keeping things running smoothly, every team member plays a crucial role in delivering high-quality service and solutions.
Things They Are Proud Of
- A strong working partnership between Jono & Annie. Running a business as a team isn’t always easy, but Jono and Annie have found a rhythm that works and continue to enjoy the journey together.

As LSL continues to grow, Jono, Annie, and their team remain committed to providing exceptional service, expert guidance, and dependable solutions. Whether on the road, on the phone, or getting hands-on with the tools, they are always ready to support their customers.
OUR
TIMELINE
Jono starts contracting to Groeneveld.
One of his first installs was fitting a Groeneveld Singleline to a DT Kings truck in Southland.
This greaser was still going in 2022 when we came across it in a maintence check. With 17 years and thousands of kms on the clock, we only needed to give it a clean then it was back to work for this truck!
He continues to contract to Groeneveld for 15 years.
Jono and Annie form Lubrication Solutions Limited, during Covid lock downs.
Groeneveld authorise us as their distributor for the South Island.
We hire more technicians and sales for Southland.
We move out of our home garage and into a real workshop with offices at 2/102 Carmen Road, Christchurch.
