Lubricant Expo Review, & More Opportunities To Meet ABN Resource At ILMA And UEIL
The first Lubricant Expo in Essen was sponsored and attended by personnel from ABN Resource in September. The event was a unique opportunity for lubricant end users, manufacturing leaders, pioneers, and peers, to get together, network and discuss how lubricants can improve their carbon footprint, performance, and cost profiles through cutting-edge innovation, smart commercialization, and industry-wide collaboration.
Professionals in the lubricants industry were given the opportunity to participate in strategic and technical sessions during which they discussed the most pressing issues, challenges, and opportunities facing the lubricants industry today, including the following:
- Sustainability within the lubricants industry including supply chain improvements, changes in manufacturing processes and innovations, taking into consideration the worldwide push for more environmentally friendly options.
- Lubricants application-led insights into the most recent technologies that require new, high-performing lubricants on the plant floor, in the automotive sector, and across the energy sector, with exhibitors including companies such as Brenntag, Castrol, Lubrizol and a great many others.
- Cost management, regional differences in both demand and innovation, cutting-edge technologies that focus on a variety of lubricant innovations and their application.
Multiple panel discussions focused on current lubricant sector issues, considering the ways in which challenging market conditions can foster opportunity and create new ways of conducting business.
James Moorhouse concluded:
“The first ever Lube Expo proved to be an excellent addition to the lubricant industry events calendar. It was well attended by our key industry contacts and gave us an opportunity to build some new relationships with companies that have a very exciting vision for the future. It was nice to hear a greater focus on the importance of people to guide the market through the times of change the sector is facing. Being in the room to hear future developments and opportunities reaffirmed there is plenty of opportunity for people to have a rewarding and highly enjoyable career in the lubes sector.”
