German businessman Juri Sudheimer has transferred control of his Lithuanian lubricant company, SCT Lubricants, to Ukrainian national Viktoria Suleimanova. This move was reported by the Lithuanian news outlet Atvira Klaipėda, who cited documents from the Lithuanian Register Center. Sudheimer, who had been the sole shareholder of the company since September 2022, had been supplying lubricating oils to Russia even after the onset of the full-scale war, according to investigations by The Insider and Siena.
The Lithuanian plant, which employs 167 people, produces oils under the Mannol brand and generated €205 million in revenue and €41.9 million in net profit in 2025. Suleimanova, already associated with the SCT brand prior to this acquisition, was appointed sole administrator of SCT Lubricants Iberica SL in July 2021. The transfer of the company occurred at least a week ago, according to reports.
